A major challenge to forensic services is how to motivate patients to change and engage in therapy. The objective of the study was to develop scales that reliably identify and measure factors that are likely to be an obstacle to patients' motivation to change, and engage with and benefit from therapy. Three measures - the Patient Attitude Questionnaire, the Patient Perception Questionnaire, and the Patient Motivation Inventory - were developed and administered to 116 mentally disordered offenders resident at three medium secure units (Denis Hill Unit, Cane Hill Unit, and Trevor Gibbens Unit) and one open forensic ward (Witley 3 Ward) in the south-east of England. Factor analysis of each scale identified three conceptually meaningful and reliable subscales. Significant differences between units were identified on several of the subscales. Only one of the subscales, measuring reluctance to open up, revealed a significant ethnic difference. The findings provide evidence for the validity and utility of the scales as clinical and research tools. |
