Training Workshop on the Use of The Chinese Version of the Differentiation of Self Inventory (C-DSI)
With approval from Dr. Elizabeth Skowron, originator of the Differentiation of Self Inventory-Revised (DSI-R) (2003), the Differentiation of Self Inventory, was translated into Chinese. The Chinese version of the Differentiation of Self (C-DSI) was validated in Hong Kong and available for use by the helping professionals of Hong Kong since Feb. 2010. The translation and validation of the C-DSI was funded by Wofoo Social Enterprises.

- as a guide for counselling directions
- a comparison between therapist observation and client self-report
- a measure of the outcome of the therapy
- a means for prediction and prevention
- a useful tool for premarital and marital counselling
