“…Additionally, the PAI manual reports convergent and discriminant validity with over 50 measures of psychopathology; specifically, the RXR was negatively associated with the Beck Depression Inventory ( [43]; r = À0.30 to À0.40), negatively associated with the "Poor Morale" MMPI content scale by Wiggins ( [44,45]; r = À0.78), and positively related to measures of perceived social support in college students (r = 0.26-0.49). TPI has been found to be a significant predictor of treatment outcome status as well as disruptive behavior in clinical settings (19,23). However, the PAI manual does not report reliability values for TPI scores as it is an index based on scale combinations.…”

“…RXR has been shown to significantly differentiate individuals actively engaged in treatment and those not currently receiving treatment, in samples of clinical verses nonclinical subjects (3,17,18). Previous literature has also reported that the TPI scale predicted treatment completion rates from noncompletion rates in specialized treatment settings, such as an outpatient training clinic, an outpatient treatment center for chronic pain, and court‐mandated outpatient centers for sexual behavior and substance abuse treatment (19–22). However, a 2012 study (23) reported that neither RXR nor TPI predicted treatment progress in a court‐mandated residential substance abuse treatment program.…”

An individual's interpersonal features are pertinent to treatment within clinical populations. The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) contains two scales that assess the interpersonal features of warmth (WRM) and dominance (DOM), as well as two additional measures to assess to treatment prediction, process, and rejection (RXR; TPI). The current study examined associations between these PAI scales in a sample of 92 men who underwent comprehensive evaluations of sexual behavior after being charged with or convicted of a sexual offense. Analyses indicated that RXR was positively associated with WRM and DOM, TPI was negatively associated with WRM, and the two interpersonal scales of WRM and DOM were positively correlated with each other. A significant inverse relationship was found between the two treatment scales RXR and TPI indicating that motivation for treatment may have a limited relationship with the treatment process. WRM significantly predicted scores on the TPI, and both WRM and DOM predicted individual scores on RXR. Higher scores on positive impression management (PIM) were predictive of lower TPI and higher RXR, as individuals with higher stakes cases may score higher on PIM and underreport obstacles within treatment or be unwilling to accept the need for treatment. Overall, findings suggest that interpersonal characteristics identified by the PAI scales may be advantageous in approaching treatment within this population.

“…To be able to work on all these aspects, it is obvious and unavoidable for the family members to attend sessions and to collaborate. Taking psychotherapy research as a reference (because it pays more attention to this issue), the standard definition of “dropout” is unilateral termination of consultation by a person or people (couple and family), despite the professional's recommendation that they continue and despite their problems continuing (Hopwood, Ambwani, & Morey, ; Swift & Greenberg, ). Recent studies propose the more complex concept of “engagement,” which points to attitudinal components linked to collaboration and emotional involvement with the treatment (Gopalan et al, ).…”

Prochaska and DiClemente's stages of change model facilitate understanding of engagement difficulties in psychosocial intervention processes. We assessed the link between stages of family change and intervention dropout in a sample of 141 families with relational conflicts between parents and adolescent children. Each family member's stage of change was defined according to three criteria: seeing the conflict as a relational problem, assuming part of the responsibility for the dysfunctional relationship, and understanding one's own mental and emotional states and those of the other family members involved in the conflict (mentalization). Our dropout rate for the sample was 41.8% and was higher for immigrant families. We found a strong association between engagement and the contemplation stage of change, particularly the mother's. In family conflict interventions, participation of all the family members is essential so as raise awareness of the relational aspects of the conflict and the shared responsibility for the conflict and its resolution.

“…5,6 The construct of treatment rejection refers to one's level of motivation and openness for treatment; thus, individuals high in treatment rejection have a low motivation and openness for treatment. 7 Past research has indicated that the presence of comorbid psychopathology is associated with an increased risk for treatment rejection among individuals in treatment for SUDs. 3 However, past research has not examined the relationship between treatment rejection and eating disorder (ED) symptoms among individuals seeking treatment for SUDs.…”

Research has demonstrated that individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and comorbid mental health problems evidence heightened negative consequences, including poorer treatment outcomes, a higher risk for relapse, and mortality compared to individuals with a single disorder. In this study, we focus on the comorbidity between SUDs and eating disorder (ED) symptomatology, as EDs are similarly associated with high rates of relapse, morbidity, and mortality. Of particular importance is research examining treatment rejection among individuals in treatment for SUDs with cooccurring ED symptomatology. This study seeks to add to the literature by examining treatment rejection among young adult men in residential treatment for SUDs (N = 68) with cooccurring ED symptomatology. Results from hierarchical regression analyses indicated that ED symptoms were significantly associated with treatment rejection after controlling for alcohol and drug use and problems and depression symptoms. Although this is a preliminary study, the results add to a growing body of research examining the comorbidity between SUDs and ED symptomatology. Future research examining this relationship is needed to further elucidate the treatment patterns among individuals with comorbid ED symptoms and substance use diagnoses.
