Of course, you may like to simplify or adapt the legend for use in your own practice (your clients will learn your modified symbols) but if you would like a broader spectrum of people to understand your genograms (perhaps for historic purposes), I would recommeded using the symbols as they have been presented. Thanks for your question. I hope this response is of assistance. Hi Judy

I found this very interesting but can one make up a genogram using their own ‘legend’ or is the above universal language in symbology (Genograms)?
