BELL RELATIONSHIP INVENTORY FOR ADOLESCENTS (BRIA)
Bell, Morris
~ (2006) is a 50-item self-report inventory which assesses object-relations of adolescents. BRIA is a downward extension of the BORRTI (listed separately in this catalog). The authors assert that for many adolescents presenting problems of an academic, emotional, or behavioral, nature -- the solution is often interpersonal. OR theory asserts that the teenager's interpersonal world is a key to understanding many aspects of his or her school performance, emotional issues, and behavior.
BRIA offers an systematic way to evaluate psychological disturbance and interpersonal relationship problems. Unlike many peronality inventories, it assesses attachment, social functioning, and emotional bonds. Five scales are provided: Alienation, Insecure Attachment, Egocentricity, Social Incompetence, Positive Attachment.
In schools or clinics, BRIA can be used to identify preteens and teens who are likely to have difficulty with interpersonal relationships. It may be especially helpful in assessing youngsters who have experienced trauma, as well as those with nonverbal learning disability, Asperger's Syndrome, or other conditions in which interpersonal connections are problematic. By revealing deficits in object relations, BRIA can also help distinguish between conduct disorder, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, and psychosis. In addition, the Positive Attachment scale can inform treatment planning by uncovering feelings of support that might moderate difficulties indicated by pathological scores on the other scales.
Complete Kit includes BORRTI Manual, BRIA manual supplement and autoscore forms pkg/25
RANGE: 11-17 years.
Administration: group or individual 15 min.
