Psychology Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
A three-generation genogram built around a psychology doctoral student as the primary person, with a two-generation mood disorder pattern on the paternal side, a conflict line between the parents, and a distant/poor line between the mother and the primary person.
In doctoral psychology training, the personal genogram surfaces the trainee's own family patterns before they become countertransference in clinical work; what becomes visible here is the emotional material a supervisor would want examined before the trainee sits with clients presenting similar dynamics.

Single Parent Family Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
A single-mother household with two children, a deceased father figure on the maternal side, and an absent biological father shown with poor relational connection to the children.
The maternal grandmother is shown as an active support node with a close line to the mother; reflecting how single-parent genograms often reveal the extended family members carrying caregiving weight that isn't visible in the immediate household structure alone.

Substance Abuse Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
Three generations with alcoholism on the paternal grandfather, substance abuse on the maternal grandfather, alcohol use disorder on the father, and a substance abuse marker on the adult son as primary person; a clear intergenerational pattern across the male line.
The divorce and remarriage structure, the conflict line between son and father, and the close line between son and stepmother show how the relational fallout from substance use runs alongside the pattern itself.

Diabetes Genogram Template
What This Template Shows

Personal Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
A three-generation personal genogram with the individual as primary person, mapped with their parents, siblings, and grandparents on both sides. Close lines, conflict lines, and distant/poor lines are already drawn across the main relationships; the structure prompts the person to examine their own family dynamics rather than a client's, which is the specific purpose of a self-genogram in supervision or clinical training.

African American Family Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
Four generations with Great Migration migration markers on the paternal great-grandparents, an extended kinship member shown within the maternal household, and close lines running across generational boundaries, reflecting the kinship care patterns common in African American family systems.
The diagram maps both the structural family and the informal support network that functions alongside it.

Emotional Relationship Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
A three-generation genogram with a full emotional overlay.
Every relationship in the diagram carries a line showing its quality. The conflict between the paternal grandparents, the closeness between maternal grandparents, the ambivalent bond between the parents, the enmeshment between the mother and daughter, and the cutoff between the father and his own father all show how emotional patterns move across generations rather than appearing in isolation.
What becomes visible when all the emotional lines are drawn together is not just how individual relationships function but how the family system as a whole transmits relational patterns; which is what an emotional relationship genogram is built to surface.

Religious Trauma Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
Three generations with active religious affiliation markers on the maternal grandparents and mother, lapsed markers on the father, and religious trauma markers on the father and the primary person.
Conflict lines run between the primary person and the mother and maternal grandfather; a close line connects the primary person and father.
What the diagram shows is how extreme religious practice became a site of rupture rather than transmission; the pattern is visible across three generations.

Foster Care Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
A placement structure showing the biological parents with terminated parental rights, abuse (neglect) between the biological father and the children, substance abuse marker on the biological mother, a CPS institution label connected to both, and the two children placed with foster parents via foster relationship lines.
The paternal grandmother is shown as a kinship placement option that was not approved.
The diagram maps the full child welfare picture; biological family, system involvement, and current caregiving arrangement in one view.
