Synopsis

The CASPARS are a set of five clinical assessment tools that measure client risks and strengths. They are based upon clinical experience, research and theory on risk and resilience, and interviews with families and children who have experienced adversities. They have excellent psychometric properties and are adaptable to a variety of clinical situations. The tools were tested on children and families where the children were 12 or younger. The tools are emotional expressiveness, family relationships, peer relationships, sexuality, and family embeddedness in the community.
