A genogram is a visual family mapping tool. It gives the clinician an inside knowledge of
the family history through generations. It is a vital tool used by Mental Health Providers.
(Wheeler, 2014). It provides a pathway for complete understanding of the graphical picture of
relationships, family, or life events that may have contributed to the current issues circumstance.
(Wheeler, 2014).
A genogram can serve as an empowering resource for the patient as he/she is able to
recount the medical and biological achievement of generations living or dead (Browning & Hull,
2018).
