The Dual-Role Relationship Inventory (DRI-R) assesses the quality of relationships between people who are required to participate in treatment or supervision, and the professionals who serve them.  Specifically, the DRI-R measures the extent to which the relationship is firm, fair, and caring.

The DRI-R may be completed by clients, professionals, or observers.  A 9-item short form has been validated and is now available; as are translations (e.g., Spanish, French, Swedish, German).  The DRI-R is free, but copyrighted.
