How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 4 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 12 squares and 13 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 6 partner lines, and 3 are crossed by slashes: one slash for a separation, two for a divorce.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 19 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 9 people are marked that way here.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: a line broken by a bar for estrangements, two parallel lines for close bonds, dashed red parallel lines for conflicted relationships and a dashed line for distant relationships.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 11 people.
