Relational Function Map

Relational Function Map is a practitioner-only FFT formulation tool for family-treatment practitioners. It helps practitioners link key behaviors to plausible relational functions, map how functions interact across family members, and record non-blaming reframe notes that can guide matched behavior-change strategies.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use it when the practitioner needs to understand relational functions behind behavior, not only the conflict topics.

What It Captures

The tool captures family members, key behaviors, practitioner-authored functions, cross-function links, reframe notes, and intervention implication notes.

Important Limits

The tool does not provide fixed function categories, scores, diagnoses, or system-generated interpretations.

Does the tool supply relational-function categories?

No. The supplied product uses practitioner-authored functions and does not impose unsupported categories.

Is there a client version?

No. This configuration is practitioner-only. The practitioner may discuss selected reframes clinically, but clients do not complete the tool.

What carries into my account?

The tool itself and selected map scope carry into the account. Fictional demo formulation content does not become real client data by default.
