Increasing patient involvement with therapy goals.
Recorded patient and therapist goal-setting sessions. The relationship between patients' participation in these sessions and their later involvement with their therapy goals was studied (N = 29). How much patients participated and how much influence they had over the goals set were found to be related significantly to later goal involvement.
