When It Is Used
Use it when conflict repair needs to become specific, recognizable, acceptable to both partners, and reviewable after future conflict episodes.
Repair Checklist for Couples Conflict Repair Strategies
Repair Checklist is a couples-therapy conflict repair strategy checklist for clinicians. It helps practitioners compare each partner's preferred and disliked repair attempts, identify overlap or mismatch, and formalize agreed repairs for later conflict review.

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 tool can capture partner-specific selections, disliked attempts, overlap, mismatch, agreed repairs, clarification needs, and review notes.
Important Limits
The checklist does not assign blame, score conflict severity, rank partners, or guarantee that a repair will prevent escalation.
Does agreement require both partners to accept a repair?
Yes. The tool should mark a strategy as agreed only when both partners can recognize and accept it.
What if only one partner completes the checklist?
The clinician can review an individual preference profile, but mutual agreement and overlap are not inferred.
Are the actual checklist items defined here?
No. Exact item text and response options are unresolved, so the demo uses placeholders to show the selection and review behavior.
