When It Is Used
Use it when authority structure, power dynamics, or hierarchy patterns appear relevant to a presenting problem and need a focused practitioner profile.
Hierarchy / Power Map for Family Therapy Practitioners
Hierarchy / Power Map is a practitioner-only structural family therapy mapping tool. Practitioners use it to represent family authority structure, power dynamics, and hierarchy patterns, then review which relationships or roles may require a practitioner-identified shift.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What the System Does
The system organizes practitioner-entered relationships, highlights marked patterns, and compares snapshots; it does not judge whether a hierarchy is healthy or dysfunctional.
Comparison Use
Historical comparison shows specific shifts in relationships or roles while preserving prior profiles.
Does Hierarchy / Power Map score family power dynamics?
No. The tool does not use numeric power scores or automated hierarchy classifications.
Who decides whether a hierarchy pattern is dysfunctional?
The practitioner decides and enters that distinction. The system only represents it.
Can multiple authority patterns coexist in the map?
Yes. The product should allow multiple authority patterns without forcing a single hierarchy when the practitioner needs that representation.
What is saved from the demo?
The tool itself and reusable configuration are saved. Fictional case data and sample snapshots are not saved as real client data by default.
