How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 3 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 5 squares and 3 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 3 partner lines.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 4 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: dashed red parallel lines for conflicted relationships, a dashed line for distant relationships, a line broken by a bar for estrangements and three parallel lines for fused (enmeshed) relationships.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 2 people.
