Counterdependency Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to support clinical understanding of interpersonal distancing and discomfort with reliance on others. The Counterdependency Scale is intended to help identify patterns in which apparent self-sufficiency may function as a protective stance in close relationships.
The instrument includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Results are best interpreted as descriptive indicators of relational style and defensive coping rather than as a diagnostic determination, and may be used to inform case formulation, treatment planning, or psychoeducation. The Counterdependency Scale can be integrated with clinical interview data and other assessment information to clarify potential barriers to intimacy, collaboration, and help-seeking.
