A multiple generation genogram is a visual representation of a family system, incorporating at least three generations. The multiple generation genogram's purpose is to help the member of the system see their context in visual form so that pivotal moments and notable patterns can be acknowledged. It is a structural diagram of a family's three-generational relationship system -- an overview of emotional problems within the context of the family system. Multigenerational family genogram highlights the important issues and relationship patterns as they emerge and repeat over the generations and defines the problem within the larger context of the emotional system.
