Creating a Forensic Genogram

When a client is sentenced in court, probation officers are asked to present a presentencing report, considered as one of the most important documents in the criminal field. Presentence investigative reports are intended to provide the judge with comprehensive information on the offender. This report describes the background and character of the person being sentenced and it contains information such as prior criminal convictions, education, work history, financial status, length of residence in the community, physical and mental history, and substance abuse history, among others.


Genograms can illustrate a personal history narrative in a visual format, and the report generated by GenoPro can provide the written component. ”

The information provided on the report can be gathered from the defendant, family members, victims or other important individuals in the defendant’s background and be presented in the form of a forensic genogram. Genograms can illustrate a personal history narrative in a visual format, and the report generated by GenoPro can provide the written component.


For a complete genogram, you will need to enter the offender and his or her family members, as well as other important individuals. Then, you must include detailed emotional and social relationships, and provide a legend to explain the various symbols used for the physical and mental history, as well as the substance abuse history.

To include information such as prior criminal convictions and financial status in your genogram, you will need to make use of Customs Tags (see video), as GenoPro does not directly provide slots specific for these details. Once you have created these, you will be able to add all the detailed information you have. As well, you may display important elements from your custom tags directly on the genogram by selecting the appropriate custom tag from the Display menu, as seen with the prior convictions display in the following genogram.
 
With the use of the tabs provided in the Individual Properties, and the ones created with custom tags, your forensic genogram can include all the details of a lengthy report. Following is an example of a forensic genogram where Andrew is the client.
