Build a family tree for humanistic and positive psychology showing their connection and divergences

For this assignment, build a “family tree” for humanistic and positive psychology, showing their connections and divergences from their origins in social and developmental psychology to their current contentious relationship. The family tree may be organized in terms of the key individuals whose work laid the foundation for the two disciplines today, or a combination of key individuals and their approaches, or through the various psychological concepts to which the two disciplines have been applied. “Cousins” and unexpected ancestors-such as transpersonal psychology and B. F. Skinner, respectively-may be included. Several free sources of genograms (family tree templates) are available online and may be used. The presentation of the genogram should be followed with 2-3 pages of explanation and description of your approach. Citations do not need to be included in the genogram itself but should be included in the text after the image.
Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Introduction

Family psychology and relation is an important professional factor in the society. A family psychology borrows the analysis of therapeutic conversations which allow the support of physical, emotional and mental conditions of individuals through the mapping of a family tree (Gergen 2001). From a family tree, one can map the transference and inheritance of certain characters and health conditions that some members of the family might have gotten from their close ancestry.
