Does inflexible thinking determine adherence to mental health therapies?
15 May 2024
There is little research that explores this topic despite those receiving mental health therapies often face difficulties during treatment and poor treatment outcomes. This research aims to understand how flexibility in thinking influences participation in mental health treatments and its effects on well-being. We will ask you to complete some questions exploring personality traits, well-being, and treatment adherence, as well as a puzzle measuring flexibility in thinking.
