Recent research efforts have focused on assessing the therapeutic community (TC) treatment process. The current article examines the validity of the client self-report Dimensions of Change Instrument (DCI) treatment process measure, by confirming its factor structure and examining each subscale's relationship with time in treatment, scales from an existing process assessment, and mental and physical health status. Participants were 511 adult and adolescent residential TC clients. The factor structure of the DCI replicated with satisfactory fit. The pattern of associations between DCI subscales and criterion measures was largely as expected, providing initial concurrent and discriminant validity evidence for the DCI.
最近的研究工作集中在评估治疗社区（TC）的治疗过程。本文通过确认其因子结构，并考察其每个分量表与治疗时间、现有过程评估量表以及身心健康状况之间的关系，检验了服务对象自我报告的改变维度工具（DCI）治疗过程测量方法的有效性。研究参与者为511名成年和青少年住院治疗社区的服务对象。DCI的因子结构得到了令人满意的拟合复制。DCI分量表与标准测量之间的关联模式在很大程度上符合预期，为DCI提供了初步的同时效度和区分效度证据。
