A genogram is a visual representation of a family tree that displays a great deal of information about individual relationships. It goes beyond a traditional family tree in that it allows the user to look at both hereditary and psychological factors that influence ties.
Because it is a precise schematic design that depicts the relationships, genetic, and behavioral patterns that members of a family share, as well as how these patterns affect family members' lives, a genogram outperforms a typical family tree.
A therapist and his patient can use genograms to swiftly detect and comprehend distinct patterns in the patient's family history that may have influenced the patient's current condition.
