What is a Genogram?
A genogram is an enhanced family tree that displays detailed information about relationships, medical history, and behavioral patterns across multiple generations. Unlike a traditional family tree, genograms use standardized symbols to represent family members and various types of relationships, making them invaluable tools for healthcare professionals, therapists, and social workers.
Genograms help identify hereditary patterns, psychological factors, and family dynamics that may influence an individual's health and well-being. They are widely used in family therapy, medical practice, genetic counseling, and social work to visualize complex family systems.

How to Make a Genogram
Create professional genograms in just a few simple steps with our online genogram maker.
Start with the identified patient or client
Begin by adding the index person (the main subject of the genogram) to your canvas. This is typically your client, patient, or the person being studied.
Add family members across generations
Add parents, grandparents, siblings, children, and other relatives. Use standard genogram symbols to indicate gender, birth order, and vital status.
Draw relationship lines
Connect family members with appropriate relationship lines — solid lines for marriages, dotted lines for separations, and specialized symbols for emotional relationships like close, distant, or conflictual bonds.
Add medical and psychological information
Include relevant medical conditions, mental health issues, substance use, and other significant information using standardized genogram notation.

A family tree shows lineage and ancestry (who is related to whom). A genogram goes further by mapping emotional relationships (close, distant, conflicted), medical conditions, mental health patterns, and behavioral issues across generations. Genograms are clinical tools used in therapy and healthcare, while family trees are primarily genealogical.
