Therapy....Why People Quit

Rates of premature termination from therapy vary from agency to therapist. In some agencies early treatment termination rates are above 50%. Termination may occur after the initial session or later in the course of treatment. There exist multiple variables effecting early termination of treatment, many which may be prevented through effective educating clients about the expectations of treatment.

Discussing openly the specific treatment goals, timeliness for treatment, communicating about differences, conflicts or disagreements in the therapy process and other potential treatment-ending reasons is key to preventing termination and improving treatment outcomes. Communication, including with your therapist, is vital to the overall success in treatment. To learn more about why people drop out of therapy, see Dropping out of Psychotherapy
