I need to check if parents have resolved the trauma caused by their child's handicap ( i.e. their internal models about their child's disability and the moment of the diagnostic).
The Reaction to Diagnosis /interview (RDI) by Marvin & Pianta was designed exactly for this purpose. Its a brief, 15-minute interview, based on Main’s concept of “resolution of trauma or loss” originally. The RDI examines resolution of the potential loss/trauma associated with the experience of learning that one’s child has a disability.

Hi and thank you for your answer,
It is a good tool indeed! But it wasn't validated in French, was it?
We did it in Hebrew. I don't know if it needs a specific language validation.
