DETAILS:

A brief self-report inventory, the CRI identifies the cognitive and behavioral responses an individual used to cope with a recent problem or stressful situation.

Forms are customized to your client’s age

• The CRI–Adult is for clients older than 18 years of age; the CRI–Youth is for clients ages 12–18 years. Each has its own manual and set of forms.

• The Actual Form surveys the individual’s actual coping behavior, whereas the Ideal Form surveys preferred coping styles. The Ideal Form may be used to compare actual and preferred coping styles, to set treatment goals, and to monitor progress.

• Both forms are written at a 6th-grade reading level.
