Often we get to see various behavioral patterns or certain complications associated with a family.

It will also allow the user to view multiple relationship dynamics, review developmental influence, and identify trends. 

How will a Genogram Symbol Sheet Worksheet help? 

A genogram is a multi-generational diagram of a person’s family and social network. It is a structure similar to a family tree, but serves a very different purpose. Using a combination of special rules and symbols, you will be able to include information about several generations. It is a multidimensional approach that utilizes emotional behaviour, lifespan, and other behaviours. It analyzes hereditary patterns and psychological factors that punctuate relationships.
