both married couples and unmarried couples living together. The assessment has 32 items that assess

feels united, and expressions of affection.
Emotional Needs Questionnaire - Answer-The first part has a total of 10 questions that correspond to
the top ten emotional needs most individuals experience/have in their lives. The questionnaire is filled
out separately by each partner, with "part A" asking the individual to rate on a scale of 1 to 6
representing the degree to which that particular need is a part of their life, and "part B" where the
individual rates on a scale of 1 to 6 the degree to which their partner is fulfilling the corresponding need.
The second part of the questionnaire lists the 10 basic emotional needs any given individual may have
along with a few blank spaces to fill in any need not listed. Each partner is then asked to list their top
five needs in order from 1 to 5, with 1 being the most important, 2 the second most important, and so
on.
The completed questionnaire is then reviewed by each partner and the therapist alike and serves a focal
point for subsequent discussion in session.
