Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Provisional State
If assessment information is insufficient, the selection can remain provisional or unselected until the practitioner is ready.
Relevant Limits
The tool does not auto-select, score, diagnose, or add unsupported problem-area categories.
Does the system choose the interpersonal problem area?
No. The practitioner selects the focus and records the rationale.
Can more than one area be considered?
Yes. Alternatives can be documented, but the result distinguishes the primary focus when selected.
Can I add a custom problem area?
No. The tool uses the fixed defined IPT problem-area choice set.
What is saved from the public demo?
Only the tool itself is saved. Fictional demo selections and rationale do not become real client data.
