Upcoming Events
Live Workshop | Genograms in Couple Therapy: A Powerful Visual Tool
With Dr. Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT, Founder of PACT
November 20, 2026, 12:00 noon – 2:30pm Pacific Time
Every couple brings a history of family relationships into therapy: experiences of closeness and distance, caregiving, conflict, loss, and repair. A genogram gives clinicians a visual way to organize that history and explore its relevance to the couple’s relationship today.
In this 2½-hour workshop, Dr. Stan Tatkin will demonstrate how he uses genograms in PACT as living clinical documents that develop throughout treatment. Using a prepared couple case, he will build and annotate a genogram in real time, explaining what he records, what draws his attention, and which questions he pursues.
Drawing on core genogram conventions described by Monica McGoldrick and colleagues, Stan will introduce the clinical color coding he uses in PACT, informed by attachment theory and his adaptation of Adult Attachment Interview concepts. This visual shorthand helps him organize attachment-related observations, track patterns across family relationships, and revisit clinical impressions as new information emerges.
The workshop will connect the diagram to clinical decisions: what to ask next, which family patterns may matter in the present, where strengths and protective relationships appear, and how new information can change the formulation. Stan will also show how an updated genogram can help clinicians reorient to a couple’s recorded history when treatment resumes.
In this workshop, you will learn to:
- Identify core genogram symbols and construction steps, including ways to represent gender identity and diverse family structures.
- Describe how Stan uses color coding to record attachment-related observations and provisional clinical impressions.
- Identify recurring patterns and strengths in a sample genogram and develop questions about their relevance to the couple’s current relationship.
- Explain how to update a genogram as new information emerges and earlier impressions change.
- Use a sample genogram to generate assessment questions and consider treatment priorities.
