TL;DR: Correlations among the subscales revealed a simplex pattern that provides support for the self-determination continuum and the construct validity of the scale, and implications for research on client motivation for therapy are discussed.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a new measure of client motivation for therapy, the Client Motivation for Therapy Scale. This scale is designed to measure client's Intrinsic Motivation, four forms of regulation for Extrinsic Motivation (integrated, identified, introjected, and external regulation), and Amotivation for therapy. These subscales correspond to different forms of motivation identified by Deci and Ryan (1985) and fall along a self-determination continuum. An experimental version of the scale, along with related scales, was distributed to a total sample of 138 clients involved in therapy. The results supported the factor structure of the scale and revealed a satisfactory level of internal consistency. Correlations among the subscales revealed a simplex pattern that, in general, provides support for the self-determination continuum and the construct validity of the scale. Implications for research on client motivation for therapy are discussed.

TL;DR: This article reported data on the efficacy of Strategic Structural Systems Engagement (SSSE), which is designed to bring hard-to-reach families into treatment. And they explored variables that may contribute to differential effectiveness.
Abstract: This study reports data on the efficacy of Strategic Structural Systems Engagement (SSSE), which is designed to bring hard-to-reach families into treatment. The study also explores variables that may contribute to differential effectiveness. Participants were 193 Hispanic families, who were randomly assigned to either experimental or control conditions. Several important findings emerged. First, the overall results replicated earlier findings showing the superiority of SSSE : 81% of SSSE families, compared to 60% of control families, were successfully engaged, χ 2 (1, N = 193) = 7.5, p <.001. Second, SSSE interventions were more successful with non-Cuban Hispanics (97% successfully engaged) than with Cuban Hispanics (64% successfully engaged), χ 2 (1, N = 51) = 7.53, p =.006. Third, an analysis of intervention failures suggests a mechanism by which culture and ethnicity influence clinical processes (resistance to engagement) and may result in differential effectiveness.

...Family therapy has become recognized as an effective therapeutic modality in general (Gurman, Kniskern, & Pinsof, 1986),and it has been recognized as particularly effective with drug abusing and behavior problem youth (Bry, 1988; Kazdin, 1987; Liddle, Dakof, & Diamond, 1991; Liddle & Diamond, 1991; Szapocznik, Kurtines, Santisteban, & Rio, 1990)....

...Despite a few negative findings (eg, O’Sullivan, Peterson, Cox, & Kirkeby, 1989) and the relatively small number of studies addressing the effects of matching, evidence in favor of ethnic matches has led some reviewers to contend that continuing in therapy appears to be “consistently and negatively affected when the therapist and the client come from different backgrounds ” (Beutler, Machado, & Neufeldt, 1994, p, 234)....

TL;DR: A 69-item brief version of the scale has been empirically derived and can possibly be adopted as a screening measure for general distress in Italian adults and adolescents; however, caution should be exercised when interpreting the clinical profile due to the instability of factor structure.
