When It Is Used
Use it for practitioner-only review of observed practice when the goal is to identify model adherence strengths, gaps, deviations, and supervision or correction needs.
ABFT Adherence Measure
ABFT Adherence Measure is a practitioner-only fidelity assessment tool for evaluating whether delivery of an attachment-based family therapy case aligns with required model tasks and standards. Practitioners use it to produce a fidelity profile showing adherent areas, gaps, specific deviations, evidence notes, and supervision or correction needs.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Requires
A substantive assessment requires the actual adherence item set, rating or differentiation structure, anchors or standards, observed-practice basis, evidence notes, and rater attribution.
Relevant Limits
It does not invent adherence items, rating anchors, scoring rules, competence certification, client outcome interpretation, or general therapist performance ratings outside the adherence scope.
Can the public demo complete a real adherence assessment?
No. A real assessment requires the actual supplied adherence measure content, including item structure and rating rules.
Is this tool client-facing?
No. ABFT Adherence Measure is practitioner-only and tied to observed practice.
Does the tool certify therapist competence?
No. It produces a fidelity profile from supplied measure content and practitioner-entered or rater-entered evidence; it does not make certification claims.
Can repeated assessments be compared?
Yes, when they use the same measure version/content set. Mixed versions must be labeled as not directly comparable.
