The author shaded medical history into 1 symbol, covering depression (1 person), mental health conditions (1 person) and PTSD (1 person). Each condition stays within a single generation here.
How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 1 person of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 4 squares and 5 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. 6 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 2 people are marked that way here.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: two parallel lines for close bonds, a double-headed arrow for caretaking relationships, dashed red parallel lines for conflicted relationships and a dashed line with zigzag segments for distant but hostile relationships.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 1 person.
