Psychotherapy discontinuation
Psychotherapy discontinuation, also known as unilateral termination, patient dropout, and premature termination, is a patient's decision to stop mental health treatment before they have received an adequate number of sessions or before they have adequately reduced their symptoms. In the United States, the prevalence of patient dropout is estimated to be between 40–60% over the course of treatment however the overwhelming majority of patients will drop after two sessions.
An exhaustive meta-analysis of 146 studies in Western countries showed that the mean dropout rate is 34.8% with a wide range of 10.3% to 81.0%. The studies from the USA (''n'' = 85) had a dropout rate of 37.9% (range: 33.0% to 43.0%).
== Differing definitions ==
Psychotherapy discontinuation can mean different things to different researchers or clinicians. Although the important aspects of what discontinuation consist of (client's decision, symptoms not adequately reduced) typically remain constant, there can still be differences of how these are measured. For example, one researcher may designate that completing 50% of sessions will mark the client as a treatment completer, where another may designate this amount at 75%. When looking at patient dropout rates, these inconsistencies can make the data difficult to understand, as patients in one study would be considered completers, but the same patients might be considered non-completers in another study.
