Genogram

A genogram is a visual representation of a family tree that includes detailed information about relationships, behaviors, and medical histories. Unlike a traditional family tree, a genogram uses symbols and lines to illustrate various connections and dynamics among family members, such as marriages, divorces, and conflicts. It can also highlight patterns of hereditary diseases and significant life events. Genograms are often used by professionals, including psychologists and social workers, to better understand family structures and dynamics, aiding in assessment and therapy.
