Multi-tiered trans-generational genogram (MTTG)

MTTG evolved out of the search for a deeper understanding of the symptomatology of Post Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTS and PTSD). Researchers have been intrigued because not everyone develops PTS/D following a crisis event and because each person with PTS/D develops an individually unique symptom style. Further, individuals experiencing the very same traumatic event can have very different outcomes. Family history, heritage, and lifestyle appear to determine whether or not a person develops PTS/D, and these factors seem to be related to the variation and intensity of symptoms experienced. In order to understand the PTS/D reactions to traumatic events, it is important to understand the Multi-Tiered Trans-Generational behavioral patterns that have been generated in each client.
