What It Tracks
It tracks accommodation targets, alternative responses, expected reactions, rehearsal status, session or follow-up state, and troubleshooting notes.
Important Limits
The tool does not generate ERP decisions, invent handout content, score symptoms, or expand into a full family therapy program.
Is BFI a self-service family tool?
No. BFI is clinician-delivered, with the family member participating in structured planning and practice.
What does the result answer?
It answers whether the family member has feasible, practiced alternatives to accommodation that can support the patient's ERP.
What if no accommodating family member is involved?
The tool is not applicable when there is no accommodating family member to participate.
Can follow-up remain pending?
Yes. Missed or not-yet-completed follow-up remains visible as pending rather than treated as reviewed.
