FOR CLINCIANS
Classification and method.
Cathexis is a published clinical framework and open vocabulary for how nervous systems organize: a free formulation map, training for the chair, and an optional client-facing app.
Sixteen territories for formulation and treatment planning.
Not diagnosis. Not billing.
ORIGIN
The Human Experience Framework began as the clinical foundation for the Cathexis app.
It now stands on its own as a published classification system. The app is one expression of it, not the definition of it.

SCOPE • SAFETY
Acute psychosis and mania sit outside the territory model. The interceptive method is contraindicated. HEF supplements DSM / ICD / PDM-3; it does not replace them. Thresholds in HEF 3.0 are placeholders, not validated norms.
