patients with low motivation* to change at start of study:
• 78% (n = 36) (Barrowclough et al, 2001)
•70- 49% (n = 106) (lower motivation, less use) (Baker et al, 2002)
*precontemplative/contemplative
Many psychosis patients are unmotivated to change their substance use
Problems for the therapistProblems for the therapist
Substance use may not appear on the problem list
Patient may be very ambivalent about “problem” status of substance use
“…a failure to agree on a problem list dooms the treatment”
Jacqueline Persons, p. 24
Challenges for the therapistChallenges for the therapist •Chaotic lifestyles and dissatisfaction with services can make engagement problematic
•Aspects of psychosis make substance use very functional eg -ameliorating negative affects -accessing pleasure in context of restricted life style
•Personal disadvantages less salient given have multiple complex problems and level of substances may be culturally “normal”
•Low self esteem/self efficacy for change
