The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between symptoms of ADHD (Attention deficit/Hyperactivity disorder) and motivation for change, to explore their role in the prediction of treatment completion and to identify domains in psycho-social characteristics which can affect the motivation. The sample was composed of 250 illicit-subsatnce users, treated in therapeutic communities for drug addicts. Motivation for change was assessed with the Change Questionnaire, the presence of ADHD symptoms was assessed with DIVA2.0 (Diagnostic interview for Adult ADHD). Respondents indicated strong motivation to change the problematic behavior, but the study struggled with high rate of premature dropping out of the treatment, so the hypothesis about the effect of measured motivation for successful completing of the tretment could not be confirmed or disconfirmed. The relationship between ADHD and motivation could not be confirmed as well. The most important finding is probably the positive correlation between rate of psychopathology and ADHD, and it's negative influence on motivation. The work also gives a report about the problem of measuring of motivation, and reports some suggestions for the improvement. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
