Sintesi	The culturagram is a visual family-assessment tool that helps social workers understand the influence of culture on a family by placing the family at the center of a diagram surrounded by ten culturally relevant dimensions — from reasons for relocation and legal status to language, health beliefs, holidays, and contact with cultural institutions. Created by Elaine Congress in 1994, it individualizes families who might otherwise be stereotyped by ethnicity, makes cultural context explicit and discussable, and is used to both assess and empower culturally diverse families.	An ecomap is a graphical map of a household or individual set within their social environment, showing the connections between the focal system and the external systems around it — extended family, work, school, health care, friends, agencies, religion, and recreation — and coding each connection as strong, tenuous, or stressful, with arrows for the flow of energy and resources. Ecomap analysis is the practice of drawing and interpreting this map to assess the person-in-environment, the central organizing concept of social work. It was introduced by Ann Hartman in 1978.
