dc.description.abstract | Treatment non-completion in personality disorder (PD) treatments is prevalent and non-completers show poorer treatment outcomes than completers. Identifying risk factors fornon-completion, and particularly causal risk factors, is important to inform criteria for treat-ment selection, design treatments that are responsive to non-completion risk, and designinterventions to minimise non-completion. Risk factors lie in a number of domains, includingindividual, treatment, and environmental characteristics. A model of Readiness to Engage inTreatment for Personality Disorders is presented to guide research and assessment. Pre-therapypreparation is one potentially valuable approach to improving treatment engagement and re-tention, and examples of interventions are described. Throughout this review, the relevance ofresearch to forensic services is specifically highlighted. | |
