Activity 5: Ecomap

Construct an ecomap on the case you have been discussing.

• Map out the professionals involved with the various family members
• Assess the quality of the relationships between the family members and professionals
• Assess the quality of the relationships between the various professionals

Having constructed your ecomap, reflect on what it tells you about the professional network in relation to:

• Stability vs instability
• Cohesion vs conflict
• Subordination vs Domination
• Who is “in” and who is “out”
• Whose voices are not heard

Finally, what does the ecomap reveal about the degree to which the professional network is mirroring the dynamics of the family?
