Larger problems often reveal themselves as life themes upon closer examination, and sometimes they even extend beyond one's own life into family history. Genograms help uncover such intergenerational connections. Created using standardized symbols, they capture understandable data and facts in a clear format.

Based on this, hypotheses regarding the emergence of a problem and relationships within the system can be formed in a family biographical genogram analysis. These can be tested in subsequent system constellations and can serve as a starting point for potential solutions – even for seemingly therapy-resistant issues.

Unexplained physical or psychological symptoms, breakdowns in family relationships, problems in partnerships, with children, parents, or even at work can, for example, be linked to traumas or losses within the family system. Once recognized, they can then be addressed therapeutically in a targeted manner.
