Unknowns Are Allowed
Blank branches, uncertain relationships, and incomplete events can remain visible so the diagram can guide further inquiry.
Can I change the diagram to more than three generations?
No. The three-generation scope is fixed for this tool.
Does the client complete this alone?
No. The product is designed as a shared-session experience guided by the practitioner.
Does the tool identify emotional processes automatically?
No. It organizes the three-generation picture and may highlight visible repeated patterns descriptively, but interpretation remains practitioner-guided.
What saves after the demo?
The fixed Three-Generation Family Diagram tool is saved. Fictional demo family data does not carry over as real client data.
