Real-world genograms from clinical practice, showing how professionals visualize complex family systems and multigenerational patterns.
Each example demonstrates a different application—from family therapy to social work assessments to clinical diagnosis.
These aren't simplified diagrams made for textbooks. These are the kinds of genograms you'd actually create in practice when working with real families. Think: divorce, remarriage, blended families, substance use patterns across generations, mental health histories, and all the complexity that comes with actual human families.
Each genogram comes with the family description and the clinical context, so you can see exactly how the visual helps make sense of what would otherwise be pages of narrative notes.
