How to read this genogram

  1. Start at the top row: the 6 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 20 squares and 16 circles.
  2. Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 8 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. 25 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
  4. Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 3 people are marked that way here.
  5. Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: a line with small circles for friendships and a styled line for loving relationships.
  6. Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 1 person.
