Improve and personalise
your psychological
interventions

The Process-Based Assessment Tool (PBAT) is freely available and downloadable

The PBAT is a tool for understanding why your psychological interventions work. It is designed for practitioners in all areas, including clinical psychology, coaching psychology, social work, positive psychology, counselling, family systems, and more. Our goal is to support people all over the world to use the PBAT to improve their outcomes. The PBAT is evolving and we will update and expand the item pool, to serve your interests. Most importantly, the PBAT will always be free to use.

If you are a practitioner, the PBAT will help you to:

  • Tailor your interventions. Why is an individual failing to thrive, experiencing poor mental health, or poor social relationships? The PBAT can tell you where they are struggling and hint at what you might do to help them.
  • Know what is and is not working. As a practitioner, if you are producing positive change in an individual, what are you changing? What is the "process" that you are improving? What processes are not improving?
