Abstract

Interpersonal Scenarios involve the construction and use of idiographic vignettes to assess the self in an interpersonal context. Constructed from a semistructured clinical interview, these scenarios represent prototypical patterns of how individuals interact with others when at their best and worst. They can be rated by patients on seven parameters: Frequency, Preoccupation, Accessibility, Self-View, Alternatives, and Self-Efficacy. The present paper describes the construction of these scenarios and then presents results from a study of six cases that provide preliminary evidence demonstrating the psychometric properties of this assessment strategy, including its sensitivity to measure change in psychotherapy.
