Trauma Inventory for Partners of Sex Addicts
The Trauma Inventory for Partners of Sex Addicts (TIPSA) is a psychometric instrument used to assess the level of psychological trauma experienced by a partner of a sex addict. The TIPSA is an important tool for mental health professionals who work with these couples because it can help distinguish between partners who are experiencing normal levels of distress and those who are in urgent need for treatment. The TIPSA helps clinicians to determine which type of support couples need, so that they can develop a tailored intervention plan and ensure that appropriate treatment is provided. By using the TIPSA, clinicians can provide the right type of support to help couples work through their difficulties and come to a place of healing.
