When It Is Used
Use Tracking when the practitioner needs a working grasp of a recurring interaction pattern as it unfolds in session.
Tracking for Observed Family Interaction Sequences
Tracking is a practitioner-only live-session observation aid. Family therapy practitioners use it to record who initiates, responds, escalates, withdraws, or redirects an observed interaction and connect that sequence to the presenting concern and structural assessment.
Try a sample interaction timeline, reorder events, and save the tool for your account.

Tool guide

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Partial Capture
Incomplete sequences remain usable and are marked partial rather than forced into a finished assessment.
Relevant Limitations
The tool does not transcribe sessions, automate coding, infer roles or hierarchy, or prescribe treatment steps.
Does Tracking create a transcript?
No. Tracking captures practitioner-entered observed events in sequence; it is not a full audio or video transcript tool.
Can event order be changed?
Yes. Events can be reordered or marked approximate because live observation may be captured imperfectly.
Are role labels inferred by the system?
No. Role labels such as initiates, responds, escalates, withdraws, or redirects are entered by the practitioner.
Can clients use the Tracking interface?
No. Tracking is practitioner-facing by default and requires no client input.
