Self-Mapping in Counselling: Using Memetic Maps to Enhance Client Reflectivity and Therapeutic Efficacy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Combining theory and practice, this article demonstrates how the construct of the self may be represented graphically with implications for our understanding of self-determination and counselling. It begins with a review of attempted graphic self-representations in psychology, social work, and education. The self is then situated ontologically within the perspective of cultural evolution, and this paradigm is used to inform the construction of maps consisting of units of culture called memes . Graphic self-maps of two individuals, one in counselling and one not, are compared and contrasted. The self-maps depict self-defining cognitive structures combined with psychological and environmental determinants. It is proposed that such graphic illustrations could benefit counsellors and their clients in planning and executing transformative change. Further research is recommended that explores the effect of self-mapping on client empowerment, the structure of client selves, and the use of mapped cognitive pathways in treatment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
