Collaborative Use
Mode maps are built with the client where appropriate. The practitioner facilitates formulation, while the client contributes lived examples, recognition, corrections, and language that fits their experience.
Schema Therapy Mode Map for Collaborative Formulation
Schema Therapy Mode Map is a collaborative visual formulation tool for schema therapists and clients. It helps make active child, coping, critic or parent, and healthy modes visible, along with triggers, feelings, needs, self-talk, functions, relationships, and treatment-focus annotations.

Version History
Maps can evolve as assessment and treatment progress. Prior versions should be preserved when meaning or layout changes substantially.
Not a Questionnaire
The tool does not calculate mode scores or convert mode mapping into standardized assessment. It is a visual formulation artifact.
Can clients edit the map?
Yes, if the practitioner enables collaborative in-session editing or suggested edits. Practitioner-controlled sharing remains part of the workflow.
Does the map score schema modes?
No. The map organizes practitioner and client-entered formulation content visually and does not produce standardized mode scores.
What is saved after the demo?
The tool and selected map setup are saved. Fictional mode nodes and sample case content are not saved as real client data.
