Patient Rings: See Support Circles at a Glance
Patient Rings are visual tools designed to map a client’s social world to help illustrate relationships, boundaries, and sources of support across different areas of life.
What Are Patient Rings?
Patient Rings are dynamic, layered circles that map a client’s social ecosystem. These layered, interactive circles allow clinicians and clients to explore how relationships are experienced in contexts such as home, work, and healing. By visualizing who in the client's life feels closer or more distant, the tool can support conversations around connection, boundaries, and social dynamics.
Benefits for Clinicians
Patient Rings offer a way to organize and reflect on support systems and relational patterns.
This shared visual is intended to support clinicians in case conceptualization, choosing interventions, and treatment planning.
Empowering Clients through Clarity
For clients, these visuals are designed to provide a clearer way to reflect on their relationships and consider how they engage with important people in their lives. This is aimed to highlight areas where boundaries or support could be explored further within the therapeutic process.
