ABSTRACT
Other individual differences characteristics are helpful in anticipating who will have greater difficulty following through on a treatment plan. The kinds of characteristics measured by tests of normal-range personality are exactly those that are helpful in reducing uncertainty related to these kinds of decisions. Although processes related to treatment resistance may be inferred from diagnosis of personality disorders, the personality processes underlying resistance can be more directly assessed in normalrange assessments, which have the added advantage of being applicable to a wider range of the treatment population.
