Use it when an IPT case needs a concise clinical synthesis for planning, review, or communication.

What It Captures

It captures the main presenting problem, interpersonal context, selected treatment focus, key relationships or events, and a concise synthesis.

Relevant Limits

The tool does not generate substantive formulation, infer the treatment focus, add scoring, or become a full progress note.

Is Interpersonal Summary for client completion?

No. It is a practitioner-only summary tool.

Does the tool write the summary for the practitioner?

No. The practitioner authors the summary; the system organizes supported sections and highlights gaps.

Can the summary be incomplete?

Yes. Incomplete summaries can show unresolved placeholders without implying completion.

What is saved from the public demo?

Only the fixed tool is saved. Fictional summary content and temporary edits do not become real client data.
