The genealogical tree as a tool in Psychology

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]By Dr. Guillermo Reynoso Palomar.

From the study of the genosociogram, a simile of the genealogical tree that allows tracing the history and family ties, the transgenerational analysis brings to light the traumas and experiences that the ancestors of an individual have impacted on him to the point of inducing unconsciously disturbances, whether psychological or physical.

And this how it starts.

The first step after the anamnesis is the session or sessions in which the patient draws her tree in front of the therapist who will be attentive to each issue such as a slip, an oversight, a sometimes large, sometimes small space on the same branch and. Similar. The design of this tree acts, let’s say, as a revelation interface that allows the person to symbolise and distance relationships and family events.

The transgenerational analysis does not provide turnkey solutions for those who experience it, that is, the solutions are, as in most cases, custom suit designs.

Typically five to ten sessions may be sufficient. Although there are situations that may take longer, although you can always pause along the way.

The idea is not to build a perfect tree. You can have an incomplete tree without knowing your biological father or grandfather, both at the beginning and at the end of the query. The important thing is to free the expression of these events or these grey areas. In short, to investigate the family inheritance is to discover those behaviours imprinted on us by an unconscious loyalty.

Discovering antecedents is the basic idea of carrying out an anamnesis in medical and psychology work and as well as revealing the influence of the predecessors on the client is the basis of psychoanalysis.
