Therapist Effects on Attrition in Psychotherapy Outpatients

Beschreibung

Dirk Zimmermann illustrates that some therapists significantly differ concerning their average dropout rates. He points out that initial impairment is a strong predictor of early termination. Different dropout criteria as well as various explaining variables on patient and on therapist level were assessed. Premature treatment termination is a common phenomenon in psychotherapy with mean dropout rates of about 20%. Therapist effects account for 3%–4% of the variation in dropout.  ContentsBrief Symptom InventoryTherapist EffectsCommon Phenomenon in PsychotherapyMultilevel Logistic RegressionAssessment for Signal Clients (ASC) Target GroupsResearchers and students of clinical psychology and psychotherapyTeachers and practitioners in psychotherapy and supervision The AuthorDirk Zimmermann studied psychology in Osnabrück (Germany), Bergen (Norway) and Trier (Germany).
