This genealogy report is about GenoPro the Sandoval Logan Family.It contains 10 individuals and 4 families from the family tree. Genogram Analysis
Jon presents as a 35-year-old Caucasian male, who is known to their therapist from past evaluations. Jon resides separately from his maternal family, given the option to leave at the age of 16 years old and taken in by his aunt, uncle, and younger cousin. He resides independently but maintains close relationships with his aunt, uncle, and younger cousin whom he did not want to include in this GenoPro presentation.
Immediate family relationships
Jon presented the outline of his immediate family including his siblings, which he has harmonious, or repaired relationships with from the past to current. His mother, Cynthia, whom he expressed distrustful relationship with due to their rocky separation when he was 16–years–old, contacts between them are occasional phone calls, the last a call where she was requesting money from him.
Jon does not reside with his mother or siblings but describes her relationships with her children as being manipulative with everyone, including the three children who continue to reside with her in her home. Jon expressed positive relationships with both his grandmother and great grandmother until the time they passed away. He expressed limited or no contact with either of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and presents with no interest in reconnecting with them.
Jon presented at times as guarded regarding discussing information about his family but agreed as it was for a school assignment and not for an application on the internet. He reports both of these women maintained a good relationship with their grandchildren as they grew older. Jon presented that his family displayed dominance of strong female role-models with limited male father figures remaining in the family structure.
Family medical and mental health concerns
Jon reports that doctors diagnosed his great grandmother Colleen with dementia in her old age, while there was no reported evidence in Janice or Cynthia. Jon has a diagnosis with insulin dependent diabetes and uses alcohol occasionally on social occasions but did not report this during the Genopro discussion. Jon reports no mental health concerns in his family but did report and incident during an earlier interview whereas a child fell into a pool and was concerned he would drown, and his life would end. He continues to swim uninhibitedly in the summers for entertainment.
Jon and his family may benefit from intrafamilial therapy regarding fears of growing up, and loss of losing family members, as well as nutrition and health for themselves as we discuss below in areas of treatment.
Areas for treatment
In areas for treatment though not expressed openly Jon may benefit from individual counseling for depression, trauma, and healthy eating and has expressed an interest in art therapy as he enjoys painting figurines and participating in Dungeons and Dragons Role Playing. He also expressed an interest in possibly repairing relationships with his mother through family therapy or expressive art therapy possibly through remote means as they do not reside together at this time, with gradual re-introduction. Sabados (2024) discusses her integration of integrated family systems(IFS) therapy and expressive arts therapy with little discussion of family therapy except with the integration of experiencing the parts of the self as family bodies related to feelings related to traumatic experiences, once self-energy leads to polarization of opposite emotions she will encourage the depiction and communication between the sensations through art and self-energy/self-healing, pointing out the importance involved in also witnessing the art and feedback play in the process. Jon may benefit from this concept of IFS and art therapy integration if presented in terms of art and calligraphy he enjoys. Jon may also benefit from something similar to the study by Dietrick-Hartwell et al. (2024) regarding Dance Movement Therapy and Nutrition Education, regarding his health and the interest he has in re-enactment and hard suit fighting. Though the article by Dietrick-Hartwell was specific in its study to a focus on post-menopausal women, similar characteristics may apply to men with certain medical, and potential depression related to relational trauma concerns.
As far as relationships between Cynthia Logan, with Colin, Joseph, and Colleen independently, perhaps individual therapy focused on boundaries and social independence, moving toward group therapy for productive transition to adult-hood. They may benefit from IFS and art therapy integration regarding growing up in a household where Jon once lived with them and then left suddenly at the age of sixteen due to family discord between him and his mother Cynthia.
Conclusion
In this work we have presented a Genopro report, discussed the outcomes of that report with the Logan Sandoval family, and discussed areas of treatment applicable to the family for increased health and support. While this report is limited in scope, and there are always additional resources which can be applied to any family setting, we have explored the concepts of Integration of Internal Family Systems and Art Therapy, as well as combination of Creative Arts Therapy and Nutrition for this discussion, in their application to the Sandoval Logan Family.
