Enmeshment Resilience Questionnaire (ERQ)

Developed by Kenneth Adams, Ph.D.

Please keep in mind that your score is not an absolute measure of resilience. The score is based on a series of items that have been observed in the population reporting enmeshment with a parent but could be present for other reasons as well.  In general, the higher the score the more likely you are to feel resilient and assert yourself in the face of obligation or guilty demands from a parent or family member. This survey is best used as a starting point of discussion with a therapist to determine how best to become resilient in the face of enmeshment.

Place a mark in the circle on the right with the most accurate answer under each statement:
