When you’d need it
You are turning intake notes or family-history notes into a visual relationship map. The hard part is not drawing boxes; it is preserving who belongs to which generation and how the relationships connect.

Case study
Why this artifact is built the way it is
Key decisions
- Generations are separated so the reader can orient quickly.
- Relationship annotations stay on the diagram because the value of a genogram is more than lineage.
- The example uses a small family so the notation is visible without zooming.
When to copy vs. adapt
Use this for family history, case notes, or counseling prep. Remove sensitive details before sharing and adapt labels to the conventions your setting expects.

FAQ
Genogram questions
What is a genogram?
A genogram is a family relationship diagram that can include relationship dynamics and patterns, not just lineage.
What should a genogram example include?
It should show generations, family members, couple relationships, children, and any context labels that affect interpretation.
Can Toft make a genogram from text notes?
Yes. Paste relationship notes and Toft drafts the structure, then you can refine names, labels, and relationships.
