Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Depends on chain context
The tool starts from chain elements and records solutions where the practitioner and client want to work on a different response. If no completed chain exists, chain elements can be entered manually.
Specific linked actions
Solution entries stay in the same section as the chain point, consequence, or harm area so the plan remains tied to the behavior pathway rather than becoming a generic goal list.
Partial plans
Sections can be left blank when they are not the focus for this plan, instead of forcing premature agreement.
Does Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Solution Analysis generate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills?
No. It records practitioner-client agreed solutions and does not generate skills or prescribe actions.
Can it be used without a completed chain analysis?
Yes. Chain elements may be entered manually when the completed chain lives outside Qwoach or is still being reconstructed.
What counts as a solution entry?
A solution entry can be a prevention step, skillful alternative, environmental or contingency change, rehearsal or practice commitment, or repair action tied to a chain point.
Is planning content saved?
No. The fixed tool is saved, while chain and solution entries from the demo are discarded.
