Satisfaction and Problem Areas Questionnaire (SPAQ)

The Satisfaction and Problem Areas Questionnaire was designed within the framework of integrative behavioral couple therapy (IBCT). It explores different aspects of couple life that can be sources of satisfaction or conflict. It assesses the level of satisfaction in 15 relationship areas, such as finances, child-rearing, or sexuality. This tool helps identify the priority areas to address in couple therapy.
