Domestic Situation Inventory

The Domestic Situation Inventory (DSI) is a sensitive counseling tool to help women consider their situations and take action to protect themselves and their children from abusers. Taking about 15 minutes to complete, the simple format presents 155 statements that ask about the past and present nature of the individual's relationships, feelings, and situations they have experienced. After it is completed, the DSI provides information to help test takers understand their scores and clarify whether they are in situations that are-or are likely to become-abusive. The DSI helps break the barriers of abusive relationships by encouraging women to objectively consider their situations and discuss them openly with their counselors or other women. And, most importantly, it can help abused women get out of dangerous situations rather than continue to accept them. The DSI also includes valuable contact information and plans to help women seek the help they need. No special credentials are required to administer.Brady, Robert P. is the author of 'Domestic Situation Inventory' with ISBN 9781558641051 and ISBN 155864105X.
