Abstract

We explored perceived barriers to homework adherence in clients receiving individual psychotherapy. Ninety-four adults with at least four individual psychotherapy sessions were recruited from outpatient services of a tertiary hospital in India and assessed on the Barriers to CBT Homework Completion Scale, Homework Compliance Scale, and Clinical Global Impressions scale. More than one-fourth completed some portion of the homework. Participants reported a high level of overall perceived barriers to homework, with more task-and-patient related factors. Higher perceived barriers were associated with lower adherence. Findings highlight the importance of understanding perceived barriers to homework adherence and addressing them systematically.
