Caregiver-Specific Ratings
YPI separates ratings by mother, father, or substitute caregivers so the practitioner can compare patterns where applicable.
Young Parenting Inventory (YPI)
Young Parenting Inventory (YPI) is a retrospective parenting-pattern inventory for schema therapists. It helps clients rate remembered parenting behaviors for mother, father, or substitute caregivers on a 1-6 scale so the practitioner can review caregiver-specific schema-origin patterns alongside active schema assessment.

Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Formulation Use
The profile supports schema-origin formulation when reviewed alongside active schema assessment; it does not prove historical facts or generate causal conclusions.
Handling Non-Applicable Caregivers
Absent or unknown caregivers should be represented without forcing invalid ratings, and labels should persist in the result.
Does YPI prove what happened in childhood?
No. YPI records retrospective client ratings and organizes them for clinical formulation; it does not verify events or judge caregivers.
Can substitute caregivers be included?
Yes. The practitioner can configure substitute caregiver labels when they are relevant to the client's childhood context.
Does the tool create treatment steps automatically?
No. It presents caregiver-specific ratings and supported schema-origin patterns; treatment planning remains practitioner-led.
What is saved from the demo?
The YPI tool and caregiver/configuration settings are saved. Fictional caregiver ratings and sample history do not become real client data.
