Beyond the family structure, the author drew 12 emotional lines touching 12 people: 3 conflicted relationships, 2 close bonds, 2 pairs who never met, 1 distant relationship, 1 harmonious relationship, 1 line marked hatred, 1 hostile relationship and 1 loving relationship. Of these, 4 stay within one generation and 8 cross between generations.
How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 8 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 18 squares and 24 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 15 partner lines, and 5 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. 30 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 6 people are marked that way here.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: dashed red parallel lines for conflicted relationships, two parallel lines for close bonds, a dotted line with an X for people who never met and a dashed line for distant relationships.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 4 people.
