What It Captures
The tool captures conflict content, a shared contextual problem description, conditions that make the pattern more likely, and observed discussion reactivity.
Unified Detachment
Unified Detachment is a live-session support tool for couple therapists using IBCT. It helps practitioners capture a shared, contextual description of the problem, the conditions that make it more likely, and whether the couple can discuss it with less immediate escalation.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Live-Session Role
The couple participates in the practitioner-guided discussion, but there is no separate client-controlled product flow.
Limits
The tool does not diagnose character, score blame, provide a full treatment plan, or function as a generic problem-solving worksheet.
Is Unified Detachment a client worksheet?
No. It is live-session practitioner support for capturing a shared contextual problem description.
What if the couple stays escalated?
The attempt can be saved as partial with continued reactivity noted rather than marked as successful.
Does the tool create a behavior-change plan?
No. It creates room for acceptance, tolerance, or targeted behavior change, but it does not produce a prescriptive plan.
Can multiple problem descriptions be saved?
Yes. Distinct patterns should be kept as separate descriptions.
