Scenario
This genogram depicts a four-generation blended family with the Smith and Brown lineages. The identified patient is Ethan Smith (age 10), whose parents are David Smith and Laura Davis. The diagram highlights health conditions (diabetes, cancer), emotional relationships (conflict between John and Michael, closeness between John and Sarah, distance between Mary and Emily), and marital history across generations.
Key decisions
- Including an index patient (Ethan) to focus assessment
- Representing health conditions with fill patterns
- Adding emotional relationships to capture family dynamics
When to reuse this
