 Tools and Diagrammatic Aidds to Assessment

• genograms;
• ecomaps;
• culturagrams;
• flow charts;
•  life road maps.

Genograms help in arriving at a clearer picture of PIE (Person In the Environment) in regards to
self-evaluation or with a client.  Genograms look at one aspect of the different systems that are
described in an eco-map.
Maximizing these and other roles that a social worker fulfills should be done using the strengths
perspective.  The beauty of the strengths perspective is that every individual or family has
strengths that can be focused on, no matter what the situation looks like.
