The Risk of Breakdown during Outpatient Psychotherapy
Abstract
Patients accepted for psychotherapy were surveyed with regard to features of their history and symptoms which have been believed to increase the likelihood of breakdown during therapy. These beliefs were not found to be justified. A positive but brief history of previous psychiatric treatment did appear to make breakdown more likely. These findings can also be applied to selection of patients for psychotherapy.
