Interactional Personality Dependence Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

addiction love addiction

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen for interpersonal dependence themes relevant to clinical formulation. The Interactional Personality Dependence Assessment focuses on reliance on others for approval, attention, and emotional support within social and romantic contexts.

It consists of 18 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to endorse statements about behaviors and emotional reactions in relationships; results are intended to support case conceptualization and discussion of relational patterns rather than provide a standalone diagnosis.

The Interactional Personality Dependence Assessment is attributed to Sidney J. Blatt and may be used as an adjunct to broader assessment when evaluating dependency-related concerns, including boundary difficulties and relationship-based preoccupations.
