[Article] Are genograms useful holistic assessment tools in palliative care? A literature review.

Genograms are increasingly used in palliative care to assess the emotional and practical support needs of patients and families.  A comprehensive search of the literature was taken undertaken to find evidence on their use in specialist palliative care settings.  The findings showed that there are benefits and drawbacks to using genograms as part of the assessment process and that it is important that other tools are examined to ensure the most effective and appropriate one is used. The author concludes that at present there is no definitive answer to their usefulness in palliative care.
