title: Patient-treatment interaction: person versus thing centeredness of addicts in methadone and drug-free approaches.
abstract: A hierarchical regression approach was used to test the hypotheses that there is a lower need for treatment for TC residents demonstrating a person-centered cognitive-perceptual style than an inanimate thing-centered one, and that thing-centered MMT patients would show a lower need for treatment than person-centered ones. The hypotheses were not confirmed. Secondary analysis shows that TC and MMT subjects do not differ for person/thing centeredness. TC subjects do show a greater overall need for treatment than MMT subjects.
