Highlights

Asking a patient who matters to them produces a list. Asking them to place people at a distance produces something else, a picture they have to look at and then explain to themselves, and this instrument does the second thing.

It is not a test. It has no norms, no scoring and no cut-offs, and it should never be presented to a patient as a measure of anything. It works as a surface that makes the relational field visible, so that both of you can be curious about its shape.

WHAT IS INSIDE (10 pages)
• Map 1, as it is now
• Map 2, five years ago
• Map 3, if it were up to you
• What moved, and whether any of it was decided
• The gap between two and three
• Who is missing, and what kept them off the page
• Clinician notes on the order of placement, the hesitations, who was added last, and where you appear

Hand it over, say only "put yourself in the middle and everyone else where they actually are", and then be quiet. The hesitations tend to matter more than the placements.

DETAILS
• 1 PDF, 10 pages, US Letter, prints on A4 with "fit to page"
• Print-ready and not editable, laid out to be used as it is
• Yours to use with your own clients, printed as often as your work requires; not for resale or redistribution
• Not a validated instrument, with no scoring, no norms and no diagnostic status, and it reproduces no copyrighted scale

Written from a psychodynamic position, it is used just as easily in systemic, family and couples work, since the map does not care which model drew it.

WHO WROTE IT
I'm Alberto Del Bove, a psychologist and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist trained in Rome, in private practice with adults. Everything in The Consulting Room is written and clinically reviewed by me, and most of it started as material I needed in my own sessions before it became something to share.

If you have a question before buying, or you want to know whether this fits the way you work, send me a message through Etsy and I will answer personally. If it turns out to be useful, a short review helps other clinicians find it.
