Inspired by systemic psychotherapies, the article introduces a unitizing and coding system for causal attributions.It focuses on one dimension: the inference field of causal explanations up to and including the triad, so far ignored by attributional studies.A five categories coding system from monadic to triadic explanations is provided and made possible by a unitizing system characterized by a contextual approach.This takes into account links between single explicative units through which the overall explanation is articulated.A detailed unitizing and coding system guide with examples taken from a study carried out by the authors is provided.Suitable also for complex written texts, the 1 to 3 is highly reliable.Joint application with multidimensional coding systems is discussed.
