Treatment Intervention Inventory

The Treatment Intervention Inventory (TII) identifies people with problems that would benefit from counseling, psychotherapy and/or substance (alcohol and other drugs) abuse treatment.

Two of the most important clinical decisions are, Does the client have a problem? And if so, what is the most beneficial counseling and/or treatment program available? The TII helps answer both of these questions.

The TII has 162 items, takes 35 minutes to complete and has nine measures (scales):

1. Truthfulness Scale 2. Anxiety Scale 3. Depression Scale 4. Alcohol Scale 5. Drugs Scale 6. Stress Coping Abilities Scale 7. Self-Esteem Scale 8. Distress Scale 9. Family Issues Scale

Careful review of the 9 TII scales brings out how comprehensive this intake or screening test is. In approximately 35 minutes the evaluator can rule in or rule out 8 clinically significant areas of inquiry. This information has proven helpful in counseling treatment and intake-referral settings. And an elevated (90^th percentile or higher) Stress Coping Abilities Scale score is a nonintroversive screen for established emotional and mental health problems.
