What is a Genogram?
A genogram is an enhanced family tree that goes beyond simple ancestry. While family trees show who is related to whom, genograms visualize the quality of relationships, medical patterns, emotional bonds, and multigenerational dynamics.
Professionals use genograms to identify patterns like:
- Hereditary health conditions (heart disease, cancer, diabetes)
- Mental health patterns across generations
- Relationship patterns (conflict, enmeshment, cut-offs)
- Cultural and religious influences on family dynamics
- Trauma transmission through generations
GenogramAI makes it easy to create genograms with all standard clinical symbols, making them suitable for therapy sessions, medical records, and family research.
