Abstract
Part one of the thesis describes a systematic review focused on implementing shared decision-making interventions in adult mental health services. It considers the barriers and facilitators to implementing different interventions at individual and service levels. Part two explores the role of the therapeutic alliance in the treatment of heroin dependence. Secondary analysis of the Positive Reinforcement Targeting Abstinence in Substance Misuse (PRAISe) cluster randomised trial data is used to investigate whether the therapeutic alliance between keyworkers and patients changes over the course of 12-weeks of treatment. The study further explores whether the therapeutic alliance mediates the relationship between pre-treatment motivation and both treatment attendance and outcomes. Part three is a critical appraisal of the process of completing the research. It includes reflection on how the researcher’s values and experiences shaped the project and further discussion of the limitations and learning from the process.
