Practitioner-Only Mapping

Family material may inform the map, but the product does not require family members to complete fields, rate each other, or access the artifact.

Relevant Limitations

The tool does not create a complete genogram, custody record, family score, blame label, diagnosis, or intervention prescription.

Is this a genogram tool?

No. It is a mentalizing-focused family interaction map, not a full family history or genogram builder.

Do family members fill it out?

No. The practitioner creates and edits the map based on clinical material.

Does the map assign blame or severity?

No. Supported and disrupted mentalizing markers are practitioner-entered observations, and the system does not infer blame or severity.
