I am working on some samples of four generation genogram of families. I have completed a genogram on a hypothetical families on areas of focus that would help to make sense of patterns in a family, either positive or negative. For example, I traced college graduates, and divorces.

I would like assistance with a sample genogram on alcoholism in a family with the tools such as SmartDraw or PowerPoint, or you can draw and scan the genogram. I would like to see how you captured the process by summarizing the the information captured in the genogram and how you gathered the information, such as interviews or archival research.
