• Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI)

What is it?

• The SASSI is the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory.  It is a validated screening tool; a brief, self-reporting psychological questionnaire that identifies a high or low probability for a substance use disorder.  The SASSI can be helpful for individuals, families, and workplaces in developing a treatment plan for an individual with potentially problematic substance use.

Who might it be helpful for?

• Individuals questioning if they have a substance use disorder.

• Workplaces suspecting problematic substance use in an employee.

• Families or partners concerned about their loved one’s substance use.

• If you’re required to meet with an Addictions Counsellor, due to legal or driving-related concerns.

• If there’s a question of what level of treatment you might benefit most from.

What can I expect?

• There are a number of ways the SASSI can be administered. We can meet in-person or virtually. First, we will spend approximately 30 minutes completing a psychosocial assessment. This gives me a better idea of what the reason is for the SASSI request, what your history with substance use is, stressors, supports, mental health history, family history of substance abuse, etc. After that, I will send the SASSI to you directly to your email if we’re meeting virtually or else you can complete it in my office. From there, I will need to clinically interpret your results, which will be put into a report I complete. This will take a few days for me to complete. We will then schedule a time to meet to discuss your results and my clinical interpretation. If your results show a high probability of a substance use disorder, we can develop a treatment plan to begin your recovery journey.

• Sexual Dependency Inventory - 4.0 (SDI - 4.0)

What is it?

• The Sexual Dependency Inventory (SDI) 4.0 is a battery of relevant tests organized into one cohesive report. Additionally, the SDI gathers data on various aspects of problematic sexual behaviour, including typical patterns of consequences, evolution and timing of behaviour and thought patterns, as well as therapy readiness. Information is also collected and evaluated on drug use, masturbation, paraphilias, and internet usage behaviours. The results portrayed within the SDI are extremely important for clinicians when establishing a treatment plan for their clients. Having all of this information available in one report and being able to address 144 different sexual behaviours is essential when treating a complex process addiction, such as sex addiction. The SDI is available only to clinicians who are completing the CSAT training and certification program (IITAP, 2022).

• Sexual Digital Media Inventory (SDMI)

What is it?

• The Sexual Digital Media Inventory (SDMI) is an assessment designed to help your therapist learn more about your use of sexual digital media, including things like apps and pornography. Taking an assessment, such as this, can save you and your therapist time and money by providing a full comprehensive report instead of conducting a lengthy interview. This assessment focuses on two distinct areas. First, it evaluates thirteen different domains of how your use of sexual media has impacted your life. This includes an examination of how sexual media, such as apps and pornography, have impacted your life (i.e., pornography addiction and compulsion, mutation of sexual tastes, isolation, and an impact on personal relationships). The other area of focus for this assessment is an examination of your different areas of sexual interest. Examples of these interests include things like: Chatting, virtual reality, home produced pornography, and sex robots. The SDMI is available only to clinicians who are completing the CSAT training and certification program (IITAP, 2022).

• Post-Traumatic Stress Index - Revised (PTSI - R)

What is it?

• Typically, trauma tests and questionnaires are designed for a specific population in mind which may preclude certain clinical features or co-occurring populations. The Post-Traumatic Stress Index-Revised (PTSI-R) was designed to avoid these issues and assess for other manifestations of trauma, such as depression. Another unique feature of the PTSI-R is that it includes previously excluded populations, such as sexual addiction and compulsion. The PTSI-R is not tied to any particular clinical theoretical orientation (i.e., psychoanalytic, humanistic, or behavioural), and instead employs the most current research in the field of trauma from an interdisciplinary social neuroscience perspective (IITAP, 2022).

• The Inventory for Partner Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma (IPAST)

What is it?

• The Inventory for Partner Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma (IPAST) is a battery of assessments that examine the partner’s traumatic reactions, family of origin, resiliency, and attachment styles. This assessment is appropriate for both, men and women, and provides clinicians with an overall look at the ways in which an individual’s behaviours have affected their partner and his or her ability to overcome and move passed the trauma.
