Abstract
Around one third of people with personality disorder do not complete treatment. It is important to improve engagement because non-completion of treatment is associated with poorer clinical outcomes. Possible strategies include offering clients choice of, and preparation for, therapy, negotiating treatment goals, strengthening hope from the start, and using an engagement action plan to identify and address potential obstacles to engagement.
