Psychosis-spectrum experiences linked to specific psychotherapy readiness domains among psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents.

Results indicate that the RPI probes multiple facets of psychotherapy readiness that have unique associations with psychosis-spectrum experiences. Adolescents with higher PRIME scores endorsed greater mental health-related distress and lower levels of openness to psychotherapy. These psychotherapy readiness factors warrant further exploration, as they may be significant barriers or facilitators to engaging adolescents with psychosis-spectrum symptoms in much needed early treatment services.
