Validated Revised Structure
YPI-R2 uses separate father and mother forms and empirically reduced subscales, rather than the original YPI's informal mapping structure.
Young Parenting Inventory-Revised 2 (YPI-R2)
Young Parenting Inventory-Revised 2 (YPI-R2) is a revised validated retrospective parenting-pattern measure for schema therapy practitioners and researchers. It helps clients rate father and mother parenting behaviors so the practitioner or researcher can review empirically structured subscale profiles for schema-related formulation or analysis.

Comparison Context
When schema measures or clinical outcomes are available, the review may place profiles side by side for examination without generating unsupported conclusions.
Non-Applicable Forms
If a father or mother form does not apply, practitioner handling is required so scoring comparability is not distorted by guessed ratings.
Is YPI-R2 the same as the original YPI?
No. YPI-R2 is a revised validated measure with separate father and mother forms and empirically reduced subscale scoring.
Can father and mother scores be collapsed into one profile?
No. Father and mother profiles must remain separate because their scoring structures may differ.
Does YPI-R2 explain what caused a client's schemas?
No. It provides validated subscale patterns for perceived parenting constructs; causal interpretation remains with the practitioner or researcher.
What carries over when saving?
The YPI-R2 tool and selected administration settings carry over. Fictional demo ratings and sample profiles do not become real client data.
