One Incident At A Time
Each analysis centers on a specific lapse. Multiple incidents should be separate analyses rather than automatically merged.
Lapse Analysis
Lapse Analysis is a collaborative relapse-prevention incident-analysis tool for practitioners working with a client after a lapse. It helps clarify the high-risk situation, the coping response or absence of response, and learning points that can inform future relapse-prevention strategies.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
The supported content is the lapse incident, the high-risk situation, the coping response or lack of response, and learning points specific enough to modify future strategies.
Important Limits
The tool does not assign blame, predict recurrence, diagnose, or generate treatment steps beyond entered content.
Can this analyze several lapses at once?
No. One analysis centers on one lapse incident; multiple incidents should be handled as separate analyses.
What if the client did not use a coping response?
The absence of a coping response should be explicitly representable in the analysis.
Does the tool explain the cause of the lapse?
No. It organizes entered incident information and learning points without generating causal conclusions.
Will the demo incident be saved?
No. Saving keeps the tool itself; fictional incident content does not become real client data.
