👥 Multi-Clinician Independent Review
Invite up to 3 additional licensed psychologists to independently review this session. Reviewers submit assessments independently — they cannot see each other's evaluations until all have submitted. This establishes inter-rater reliability for court.
Add Independent Reviewer
Reviewer will receive a secure time-limited link to view the session and submit their independent assessment.

A First-of-Its-Kind Clinical Assessment for Child Psychological Abuse
A structured clinical interview and documentation instrument for identifying attachment pathology in a child who has been turned against a parent — grounded in Dr. Craig Childress's attachment-based model and the developmental literature. DSM-5 V995.51.
Launch the Assessment →For verified licensed clinicians. Assessment opens in a secure session.
US Psychology Organization is a professional membership organization advancing the clinical recognition of Child Psychological Abuse.
CAPA is a structured clinical interview and documentation protocol — not a standalone diagnosis.
It guides a child through an age-appropriate, avatar-led interview, produces a verbatim timestamped transcript,
and organizes the findings around three diagnostic indicators for a reviewing clinician to assess.
Every session is documented as a secure, tamper-evident evidence package.
The Three Diagnostic Indicators
CAPA organizes the interview around three indicators drawn from the attachment and family-systems literature — the pattern seen when a child is turned against a loving parent.
Indicator 1
Attachment System Suppression
The child's natural attachment to a parent is suppressed or shut down — the drive to seek comfort and connection is overridden.
Indicator 2
Personality & Anxiety Features
Emerging personality-structure features and phobic-level anxiety toward the targeted parent — fear and rejection out of proportion to any real history.
Indicator 3
Fixed False Belief
An encapsulated, fixed belief about the targeted parent — all-bad, absolute, and resistant to contrary evidence.
A Documented Evidence Package
CAPA is built for professional and legal settings. Each session produces a structured, tamper-evident record.
📝
Verbatim Transcript
Every question and response, timestamped, captured as clinical documentation.
🔐
SHA-256 Tamper-Evident Hash
A cryptographic fingerprint that detects any later alteration of the record.
👥
Multi-Clinician Blind Review
Up to three licensed reviewers assess independently — establishing inter-rater reliability.
🔒
Logged, Time-Limited Access
Secure view-only links for authorized parties, with every access permanently logged.
Recorded and stored securely. Sessions are recorded and stored securely, with informed parental or guardian consent, so the record is available for later clinical and legal review. Records are held under USP's data-retention policy and destroyed on schedule.
Who CAPA Is For
Clinicians
A structured instrument to interview the child, document findings, and organize them around a recognized framework.
Attorneys & GALs
A documented, tamper-evident record of the child's own words, prepared for review by a qualified clinician.
Courts
Independent multi-clinician review and logged access, built to support reliability in a legal setting.
Access CAPA Through Professional Membership
Full clinical administration of CAPA is included with Professional and Founding membership in US Psychology Organization.
Any member may view a read-only preview of a CAPA session. Live administration on a child is limited to verified licensed clinicians.
Important: CAPA is a structured clinical interview and documentation instrument, not a validated psychometric test and not a clinical diagnosis. All findings must be reviewed and authored by a licensed clinician. Results are intended to support, not replace, professional clinical judgment.
