Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use it when multiple hurts or attachment wounds could anchor treatment and the practitioner needs to choose a staged repair focus.

What It Captures

It captures candidate ruptures, adolescent and caregiver perspectives, relevance to current disconnection or symptoms, feasibility, priority, and target status.

Relevant Limits

It does not assign blame, adjudicate facts, compute clinical priority, create severity scores, or impose unsupported rupture categories.

Does the tool choose the most important rupture automatically?

No. Prioritization is practitioner-mediated and based on captured perspectives, current relevance, and feasibility.

Can disagreement stay visible?

Yes. Separate perspectives are preserved and are not merged into a false shared story.

Can clients use the inventory during session?

Yes, in facilitated dyad-visible entry mode, they can help name and clarify rupture descriptions.

What happens to vague rupture items?

Vague items can remain in clarification status until they are specific enough to discuss.
