Sign in to Creately and open a workspace. Then search for “therapy genogram” in the template library. Choose from pre-designed layouts to get started quickly.
2. Add Members by Generation
Drag and drop symbols to represent individuals, organizing them by generational levels: grandparents, parents, children, and extended family. This visual structure helps uncover intergenerational patterns and dynamics.
3. Map Emotional and Structural Relationships
Use specialized connectors to illustrate relationships such as marriage, divorce, cohabitation, as well as emotional ties like closeness, conflict, cut-offs, and alliances. Accurately visualize roles, subsystems, and interaction patterns.
4. Document Case Notes and Annotations
Add case histories, session notes, or significant life events in the notes panel. Attach supporting documents like assessments, reports, or images directly to relevant members for easy reference during therapy.
5. Customize for Therapeutic Insights
Highlight key patterns or roles using color coding, symbol variations, and flexible layouts. Customize annotations to reflect cultural contexts or therapy-specific observations for a more nuanced analysis.
6. Collaborate with Clients and Teams
Share genograms with clients, supervisors, or clinical teams securely. Collaborate in real time, leave contextual comments, and ensure everyone involved has the latest version for effective case discussions.
