Enactment Support for Live Family Therapy Sessions

Enactment is a practitioner-only live-session support tool. Family therapy practitioners use it to orient initiation, facilitation, and closing while bringing a problem-relevant interaction into the session so the pattern becomes visible and workable.

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

Why It Is Phase-Based

The supported structure is initiation, facilitation, and closing. The tool uses those phases to organize optional practitioner notes without prescribing exact prompts.

Boundary From Observation Records

Use Enactment for live intervention support. Use an Enactment Observation Record when structured observed-interaction data is needed.

Relevant Limitations

The tool does not score enactment quality, generate clinical scripts, or require a completed artifact.

Does Enactment provide exact prompts or scripts?

No. Exact enactment prompts and clinical scripts are unresolved in the product specification and should not be invented.

Is there a client interface?

No. Clients participate through live interaction, not through a product workflow.

Can an enactment record be partial?

Yes. An enactment may have initiation notes without facilitation or closing notes, and the partial state should be preserved.

Does this replace the Enactment Observation Record?

No. This tool supports the live intervention; structured observation and coding-ready review belong to the Enactment Observation Record.
