DSM-5 Mapping

Definition

The DSM-5 Mapping correlates psychiatric diagnostic categories with archetype displacement states. The framework’s claim is not that DSM-5 categories are “really” archetype imbalances; it is that the structural patterns the DSM identifies often correspond to specific Too Much / Too Little / Unacknowledged states of specific archetypes.

This is hospitality work, not derivation. It serves clinicians and trauma-informed practitioners who want to engage the framework from familiar diagnostic ground.
