Psychotherapeutic Outcomes

Premature terminations by clients and poor psychotherapeutic outcomes are problems for community mental health centers. Psychological, demographic, and treatment measures were collected on 121 children and their families to identify salient factors which could predict treatment outcomes. Utilizing discriminant functions, comparisons were made between premature vs planned terminations and good vs guarded prognoses. The resulting profiles were classified for accuracy of predicted group membership. Discussion concerned the application of findings and the methodology employed in the early identification of the potential dropouts or unresponsive clients.
