Frequently Asked Questions
What is a genogram template?
A genogram template is a pre-formatted document or digital canvas that includes the basic structure and symbols for creating a genogram. Templates save time by providing a starting point with proper formatting, symbol guides, and space for family information.
Should I use a paper template or digital tool?
It depends on your needs. Paper templates are great for initial brainstorming, client sessions, or when technology isn't available. Digital tools like GenogramAI offer advantages: easy editing, automatic symbol placement, cloud storage, and professional export options.
Can I edit genogram templates?
Most templates are designed to be editable. PDF templates can be filled in by hand or with PDF software. Word templates allow digital editing. GenogramAI provides fully editable digital templates that automatically apply proper genogram notation.
Are these templates clinically appropriate?
Our templates follow standard genogram notation as established by McGoldrick, Gerson, and Petry. They're suitable for clinical, educational, and personal use. For specialized clinical applications, verify symbols meet your organization's documentation standards.
