2. Ensure you have included an explanation of issues that apply to your family’s community on the short form based on the identifying data and environmental data.

3. Format your genogram . A genogram (pronounced: jen-uh-gram) is a graphic representation of a family tree that displays detailed data on relationships among individuals. It goes beyond a traditional family tree by allowing the user to analyze hereditary patterns and psychological factors that punctuate relationships.

Check out our Nies Textbook for further information on a genogram.

4. Create an ecomap (An Ecomap is a diagram that shows the social and personal relationships of an individual with his or her environment. It is often used in counseling by social workers or nurses. Ecomaps were developed in 1975 by Dr. Ann Hartman who is also credited with creating the genogram. Use the link below (copy and place in your web browser) to find a template to use for an ecomap:
