Which option is NOT a mapping technique listed in the material?

• A. Genogram
• B. Family Sculpting
• C. Ecomap
• D. Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis

Answer: (D)

Mapping techniques in counseling help visualize relationships and systems rather than just assess individuals. A genogram is a family diagram that shows family relationships across generations and can include health history. An ecomap maps the person’s connections to external systems—like work, school, and community resources—and indicates the level of support or tension in those ties. Family sculpting uses participants’ bodies to physically represent family dynamics and boundaries.

Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis, on the other hand, is an assessment of temperament or personality style, not a method for mapping relationships or environmental systems. It focuses on individual traits rather than diagramming structures. So the option that does not fit as a mapping technique is Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis.
