"Merlino-Perkins Father-Daughter Relationship Inventory" (Perkins, 2008), written in a woman's voice, provides counselors with a vehicle that helps women awaken subtle dynamics unique to their childhood father relationships. Accordingly, with counselor guidance, women have the opportunity to grieve their past, and celebrate what may be possible for them in the present. However, international events have caused many women (not fluent in English) to seek life in a new land, often a country with a new language. Consequently, this research responds to the overall need for published assessment instruments to be accurately translated, (employing strong psychometric properties) for women who prefer to read, or can only read, in their first language. Thus, this work provides findings shown, and counseling implications as well.
