When It Is Used

Use it at intake or during a treatment-plan update when both partners' relationship information needs to be organized into a scored clinician report.

What It Shows

The review experience shows completion status, scored report information, strengths, concern areas, recommended treatment targets, and comparison with prior administrations where available.

Important Limits

The demo does not define exact assessment items, scoring rules, scale meanings, thresholds, recommendation logic, or whether partners see the clinician report.

Is this a questionnaire builder?

No. It is represented as the Gottman Relationship Checkup, a ready-to-send structured couples assessment with automatic scoring and clinician-facing reports.

Do both partners complete it?

Yes. Both partners provide assessment responses, and the couple-level formulation depends on the represented scoring requirements.

What happens if only one partner completes the assessment?

The clinician can see partner-level completion, but the couple-level scored formulation remains incomplete unless the represented checkup supports partial scoring.

Can I change the scoring or assessment content?

No. The supplied specification does not support changing item content, scoring rules, domains, thresholds, or recommendation logic.
