Practitioner-Authored Formulation

The map reflects the practitioner’s assessment and notes. The system stores layout and metadata but does not assign structural meaning automatically.

Version History

Updated maps create dated versions so earlier formulations remain available for comparison as the family changes.

Scope

The tool is for structural family therapy mapping, not a generic diagram builder, genogram, family tree, or intervention recommendation engine.

Is there a client or family entry flow?

No. Client/User View is not applicable because the supplied configuration is practitioner-only.

Does the tool define structural symbols automatically?

No. It supports generic or practitioner-defined notation and does not impose unsupported symbol meanings.

Can prior maps be preserved?

Yes. Version history preserves prior formulations rather than overwriting them invisibly.

Does it recommend interventions?

No. The map helps the practitioner choose interventions, but the system does not generate recommendations.
