A genogram goes beyond a basic family tree by showing relationships, health patterns, and emotional connections across generations. This set of 37 genogram templates gives counselors, social workers, nurses, and students a ready framework to map a family's structure without drawing every symbol by hand. They're useful for therapy sessions, medical histories, and class assignments where the dynamics matter as much as the names.
The templates come in Word for adding your own figures and notes, plus PDFs you can print and sketch on directly. Standard symbols and connecting lines are already in place, so you can focus on filling in people, dates, and the links between them. Print a blank copy for a session or edit one on screen.

What is a genogram and how is it different from a family tree?
A genogram is a detailed diagram of a family that shows not only relationships across generations but also health patterns, emotional connections, and social dynamics. Unlike a basic family tree, which mainly maps ancestry, a genogram uses specific symbols to reveal how family members relate and influence one another.
What symbols and information are used in a genogram?
Genograms use squares for males, circles for females, and lines to show marriage, divorce, and children. Additional symbols and colored or patterned lines indicate emotional bonds, conflict, illness, or substance issues. Dates of birth, death, and major events are often added to give a fuller picture.
Who uses genograms and why?
Counselors, therapists, social workers, nurses, and students use genograms to understand family structure, relationship patterns, and inherited health risks. Mapping these details helps professionals identify sources of support or stress, recognize medical patterns, and guide treatment or care planning based on the family context.
