How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 5 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 7 squares and 6 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 3 partner lines, and 1 is crossed by slashes: one slash for a separation, two for a divorce.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 7 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 1 person is marked that way here.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: a red zigzag for hostile relationships, a styled line for loving relationships and two parallel lines for close bonds.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 5 people.
