A retention study in a therapeutic community (TC) was conducted to examine treatment as a factor in client drop out. A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design involving 22 new admissions was used to evaluate the efficacy of a behaviorally based treatment approach designed to enhance retention for TC clients in their early phase of residential treatment. The Beck Depression Inventory and Problem-Solving Inventory were administered in pretest-post format, in addition to the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 which was administered at posttreatment. Results revealed a retention rate of 100 percent for the treatment group compared to 27 percent for the untreated group. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-12, Section: B, page: 6131. / Major Professor: Dianne Montgomery. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1990.
