What is a genogram?

A genogram is a visual representation of a family's structure, relationships, and medical history. It is similar to a family tree, but includes more detailed information such as ages, occupations, health conditions, and emotional connections between family members. Genograms are often used in therapy, social work, and genetic counseling to better understand and analyze family dynamics and patterns of behavior. They can provide valuable insight into familial relationships, communication patterns, and potential risk factors for inherited health conditions.
