Practitioner And Client Roles

The practitioner initiates and reviews OPD-CQ. The client completes the questionnaire responses, which become input for practitioner formulation.

What It Captures

The questionnaire captures responses about coping with unconscious conflicts, emotional experience, and defended conflict perception within the supported OPD-CQ structure.

Result Boundary

The tool produces a profile for review; it does not generate an automatic psychodynamic diagnosis or treatment recommendation.

Does OPD-CQ diagnose the client automatically?

No. OPD-CQ produces structured conflict-coping information for practitioner review within OPD-informed formulation.

Can a partial questionnaire produce a final profile?

No. Partial completion should show progress only and should not generate final scoring.

Who completes OPD-CQ?

The client completes the questionnaire; the practitioner assigns, reviews, and interprets the resulting profile.
