Mechanism Categories Are Not Predefined Here

The supplied specification notes four primary mechanisms but does not provide exact labels or definitions, so the demo uses practitioner-authored pattern fields instead of invented options.

Process Versus Content

The tool keeps dispute content examples separate from the practitioner's formulation of the recurring family emotional process.

Does the tool include the four mechanism categories?

No. The supplied product specification does not define exact category labels or descriptions, so they are not exposed as options.

Is this a symptom checklist?

No. It maps a practitioner-authored emotional process formulation rather than scoring symptoms.

Can I record multiple possible patterns?

Yes. Competing tentative formulations can be recorded without forcing a final pattern.

What saves after the demo?

The Nuclear Family Emotional Process Map tool is saved. Fictional examples and temporary demo formulations do not become real client data.
