Relational Assessment

Relational Assessment is a practitioner-only FFT assessment tool for family-treatment practitioners. It helps practitioners organize relationship patterns, key behaviors, relational functions, and interaction targets so intervention choices can be matched to the family’s relational dynamics.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use it before intervention selection when the practitioner needs a coherent relational-function profile.

What It Captures

The tool captures relationship patterns, members or dyads, key behaviors, surface conflict content, practitioner-entered functions, and interaction targets.

Important Limits

The tool does not generate functions, diagnoses, scores, moral judgments, or intervention prescriptions.

Does this tool assign relational functions automatically?

No. Relational functions are practitioner-entered. The system organizes the profile and shows missing-link cues.

Can clients complete the assessment?

No. Clients may provide information in conversation, but this product has no separate client digital assessment workflow.

What happens to demo entries after saving?

Demo entries do not become real client data by default. Saving preserves the tool itself and selected assessment scope.
