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.

Medical Genograms

Track hereditary conditions, genetic disorders, and medical history across generations to identify health risk patterns.

Family Therapy Genograms

Visualize emotional relationships, conflicts, and behavioral patterns to support therapeutic interventions.

Social Work Genograms

Document family structures, support systems, and intergenerational trauma for case management.

Cultural Genograms

Map cultural heritage, traditions, and ethnic backgrounds across family generations.

How to Make a Genogram

Create professional genograms in just a few simple steps with our iPad genogram maker.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Add medical and psychological information

Include relevant medical conditions, mental health issues, substance use, and other significant information using standardized genogram notation.

5

Export and share

Download your completed genogram as a PDF or image file for inclusion in clinical documentation, reports, or presentations.
