How to read this genogram

  1. Start at the top row: the 5 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 15 squares and 10 circles.
  2. Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 4 partner lines, and 1 is crossed by slashes: one slash for a separation, two for a divorce.
  3. Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 13 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
  4. Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 2 people are marked that way here.
  5. Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: two parallel lines for close bonds, a broken line that has been rejoined for repaired cutoffs and three parallel lines for fused (enmeshed) relationships.
  6. Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 3 people.
