ANS: C
A family is who they say they are. Identified family members may or may not be blood related. Strong emotional ties and durability of membership characterize family relationships regardless of how uniquely they are defined. Even when family members are alienated, or distanced geographically, they can never truly relinquish family membership. Family function refers to the roles people take in their families. Family process describes the communication that takes place within the family. An ecomap is essentially a sociogram, illustrating the shared relationships between family members and the external environment. Beginning with an individual family unit or client, the diagram extends to include significant social and community-based systems with which they have a relationship. These data identify at a glance the family's interaction with environmental supports and its use of resources available through friends and community systems.
