When It Helps
YCI helps when the practitioner needs to distinguish schema overcompensation from general assertiveness or unrelated behavior and identify compensatory behaviors specific enough for therapeutic discussion.
Young Compensation Inventory for Schema Overcompensation Review
Young Compensation Inventory is a ready-to-send schema therapy self-report questionnaire for practitioners. It helps identify high-scoring compensatory behaviors so overcompensation patterns can be discussed in case conceptualization and treatment planning.

Review Limits
The review remains descriptive. It does not diagnose the client, classify assertiveness as pathology, or generate schema links without practitioner interpretation.
Is YCI configurable?
No. The YCI is a fixed assessment tool, and saving adds that fixed tool to the practitioner's account.
What does the result show?
The result shows high-scoring compensatory behaviors, item-level ratings, and supported profile outputs where defined.
Does the tool generate treatment priorities?
No. Treatment priorities remain practitioner-led and are not generated automatically by the tool.
