Genograms are widely used in family therapy as a way of visually mapping out systems and recurring family patterns. Creative genograms enable families to phenomenologically self-define recurring themes and issues, thus combining both historical, but also, experiential data on the same page. This participatory research gathers the self-defined, phenomenological experience of family social workers who experienced creative genograms firstly on themselves and then administered it with their clients: Examples are analyzed within the text. The findings point to the usefulness of including creative genograms in family social work contexts to intensify information, engagement, and stimulation and to re-perceive calcified problems through new visual terms. Challenges were the unfamiliarity of art language and fear of being “diagnosed” through art. Ways to overcome these challenges and to utilize the benefits were discussed. A theoretical understanding of social versus psychological art is outlined. The specific tool of the creative genogram enabled us not only to provide a clear directive tool for family social workers but also to demonstrate the ways that social art corresponds to and can enhance the aims of family social workers in more detail.

Genogram在家庭治疗中被广泛使用，是一种可视化地绘制系统和重复出现的家庭模式的方法。富有创意的基因图谱使家庭能够从现象学上自定义重复出现的主题和问题，从而在同一页面上组合了历史数据和体验数据。这项参与性研究收集了家庭社会工作者的自定义现象学经验，他们首先对自己进行了创造性的基因图谱分析，然后与他们的客户进行了管理：本文中分析了示例。研究结果指出，在家庭社会工作环境中包括创造性的家庭谱图，以增强信息，参与度和刺激力，并通过新的视觉术语重新认识钙化的问题是有用的。挑战是对艺术语言的不熟悉以及害怕被艺术“诊断”。讨论了克服这些挑战并利用收益的方法。概述了对社会艺术与心理艺术的理论理解。创造性基因图谱的特定工具不仅使我们能够为家庭社会工作者提供明确的指导工具，而且使我们能够更详细地展示社会艺术与之相对应的方式，并可以提高家庭社会工作者的目标。
