Genograms are standard tools in family therapy and clinical settings.

Genograms use standardized symbols: squares represent males, circles represent females, horizontal lines show marriages, vertical lines show parent-child relationships. Additional markings indicate divorce (double slash), conflict (zigzag line), closeness (double line), and death (X through the symbol).

A standard clinical genogram typically covers three generations — the identified person, their parents, and their grandparents. This provides enough depth to identify recurring patterns in health, behavior, and relationships. You can extend to four or more generations for detailed genealogical or genetic research.

Genograms are used by family therapists, social workers, genetic counselors, medical professionals, and researchers. They help identify inherited health conditions, recurring behavioral patterns, and relationship dynamics that influence treatment approaches.
