Case study A
married couple, Rati (30 years) and Ben (33 years) are blessed with two
children, 10 and 15 years old. They have been married for five years. Since
Ben was retrenched at work, he has been abusing drugs and alcohol. Thus, he
fails to control his temper when he is spending time with his family. The
couple argue every day, even about small issues. At times, the arguments
result in physical violence. Rati has told her close cousin about the ongoing
abuse she has been experiencing. She has indicated that Ben frequently insults
her and has become physically violent on several occasions. Rati is concerned
about her well-being and that of her children.
Questions
1. In social work, a variety of assessment tools are employed to assess clients'
situations before developing an intervention strategy/plan. Plot Rati’s family
on a genogram and ecomap.
a) Provide a detailed graphic representation of a family tree (genogram) that
displays detailed data on relationships among individuals within Rati’s family.
Please interpret the genogram. [15]
b) Provide a visual representation of different systems (ecomap) that have an
impact on the life of the couple and their children. Please interpret the
ecomap. [15]
To address the case study, we will first create a genogram and ecomap for Rati’s

A genogram is a graphical representation of a family tree that displays detailed
data on relationships among individuals. It goes beyond a traditional family tree by
including information on the relationships and health history of individuals.
a) Genogram for Rati’s Family
To create the genogram, we need to include the following individuals:
• Rati (30 years)
• Ben (33 years)
• Their children (10 years and 15 years)
• Close cousin of Rati (name and age not specified)
Based on the case study, here is a simplified genogram for Rati’s family:
