Zusammenfassung	The ENRICH (Enriching Relationships: Issues, Communication, Happiness) program is a comprehensive couple assessment and enrichment system developed by David Olson that includes multiple relationship assessment tools. The ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale is a subset of the full ENRICH Couple Inventory and measures couple satisfaction across key relationship domains. Widely used in premarital counseling, relationship enrichment programs, and couple therapy, the ENRICH approach assesses both relationship strengths and areas for improvement, positioning it as both diagnostic and developmentally focused.	The Family Assessment Device is a widely used self-report instrument designed to measure family functioning across six key domains derived from the McMaster Model of Family Functioning. Developed by Epstein, Baldwin, and Bishop in 1983, the FAD assesses problem-solving, communication, roles, affective responsiveness, affective involvement, and behavioral control in families. It is used extensively in family therapy research, clinical assessment of family dynamics, and as an outcome measure in family-based interventions for mental health, medical, and developmental conditions.
