Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS)

Around 15 to 30 minutes. This may vary depending on the individuals involved and the setting. The assessment consists of self-report questionnaires that both partners fill out, which can be done individually or together, either in a clinical session or at home.

The DAS helps therapists identify areas that may need attention and guides the development of tailored interventions to improve relationship dynamics, enhance emotional connection, and address specific relational issues.

It is most effective when used with couples with an intimate partner, as it specifically addresses issues like communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution that are central to romantic partnerships.
