Lay Summary
|
Services for people with personality disorders are challenged by how to engage clients in
therapy. High non-completion rates have major cost-efficiency implications, but more
worrying is that drop-out may be associated with negative outcomes for clients. The
investigators have developed a motivational intervention that helps people focus on their
valued and attainable life goals and consider how therapy could help with goal
attainment.One way to improve retention in treatment is to deliver pre-therapy motivational
preparation interviews. The primary aim of our proposed research is to gather information to
determine whether a randomised controlled trial of a goal-based motivational intervention is
feasible in a community personality disorder treatment service.
