Abstract

Psychotherapy dropouts represent a challenge for mental health professionals. Such dropouts not only represent a waste of resources, but also are likely to remain in need of treatment. We identify a prediction equation based on variables easily obtained at intake, that successfully identified 60% of the dropouts in our sample.
