The purpose of this paper is to allow you to explore your own family background using a multidimensional framework in the context of ecological systems theory, and other models/theories we have studied. This paper is an opportunity to apply material from your readings, discussions, and classroom activities, to your own developmental trajectory, and to constructively reflect on how to apply social work ethical principals in practice. This is an introspective, reflective analysis of your life trajectory in relation to family of origin, contextual, and social relationships. In the paper: 1. Analyze selected aspects of your individual and familial development rethinking the Systemic Family Development (SFD) model. 2. Include reciprocal relationships between family and environment across generations, applying ecological systems theory. 3. Use a strengths-based perspective. 4. Identify issues of self-awareness, personal values and professional ethics that relate to ways specific developmental experiences might affect your professional practice with others; include suggestions on how you might manage your personal values to allow professional values to guide you in practice. 5. Apply at least one relevant theory in addition to SFD or ecological systems theory within your paper. .
