Family Systems Theory
Deserves Better Tools
You understand Bowen. You've read McGoldrick. Now you need to create a genogram that actually shows emotional relationships—not just boxes connected by lines.
Every Psych Student Has Been Here
Family therapy courses assign genograms. They don't teach the tools.
Family Systems Theory Meets Reality
"Your Family Therapy course covers Bowen, Minuchin, McGoldrick. The textbook shows beautiful genograms with emotional lines and patterns. Then you're told to 'create one' with zero guidance on tools."
Learning the theory is one thing. Finding software that actually implements it is another. Most students spend hours on Google before finding anything useful.
Emotional Relationships Don't Exist in Normal Tools
"Your genogram needs to show enmeshment, cutoffs, and conflict patterns across three generations. PowerPoint has... lines. Straight lines. That's it."
A genogram without emotional relationship lines isn't really a genogram—it's just a family tree. Your professor knows the difference.
Drawing by Hand Looks Unprofessional
"You tried drawing it by hand and scanning it. The zigzag conflict lines look like a child's scribble. The fused relationship notation looks like you sneezed while drawing."
Clinical documentation needs to be readable by other professionals. A hand-drawn genogram in a grad school assignment doesn't reflect the work you put into understanding the family system.
Graduate Student Budget is Real
"GenoPro costs $50. You're already paying thousands in tuition, buying DSM-5s and therapy textbooks. You need a genogram tool twice in your entire program."
It doesn't make sense to buy expensive software for two assignments. But the free tools don't have what you need. It's a frustrating position.
Built for Family Systems Work
GenogramAI was designed by people who understand the theory.
25+ Emotional Relationship Types
Close, fused, enmeshed, distant, cutoff, conflict, hostile, abuse. All the relationships your Family Systems textbook describes.
Multigenerational Patterns
Show how anxiety, addiction, or cutoff patterns repeat across generations. Visualize the transmission of family dynamics.
Index Person & Triangles
Mark the identified patient. Show triangulation dynamics. Demonstrate differentiation levels within the system.
AI Understands Family Systems
Describe: 'Enmeshed mother-daughter relationship, father emotionally cutoff.' GenogramAI draws the correct notation automatically.
From Theory to Tool
The concepts you learn in class have direct visual representations.
Your Professor Reads Genograms
Faculty who teach family systems know the notation cold. A genogram with incorrect symbols or missing emotional lines won't get full marks—no matter how good your analysis is.
Correct Notation
McGoldrick-standard symbols that any clinician would recognize.
Complete Relationships
All 25+ emotional line types your textbook describes.
Professional Output
Clean exports that demonstrate competency in family systems work.
