Full Product Description

The SIPA is a screening and diagnostic instrument that identifies areas of stress in parent–adolescent interactions, allowing examination of the relationship of parenting stress to adolescent characteristics, parent characteristics, the quality of the adolescent–parent interactions, and stressful life circumstances.

Features and benefits

  • Areas of parent–focused inspection include life restrictions, relationship with spouse/partner, social alienation, and incompetence/guilt.
  • Areas of adolescent–focused inspection include moodiness/emotional lability, social isolation/withdrawal, delinquency/antisocial, and failure to achieve or persevere.
  • Useful for family counseling, forensic evaluations for adolescent custody, identification of dysfunctional parent–adolescent systems, prevention programs designed to reduce parental stress, and intervention and treatment planning in high stress areas.
  • The SIPA (along with the PDDBI, PSI–4–SF, and SRS–2) meet the requirements for ABA therapists working with autism patients who have federal health insurance (i.e., TRICARE).
  • This upward age extension of the third edition of the Parenting Stress Index (PSI–3) contains 112 items and is written at a fifth–grade reading level.
