作者对一家大型社区精神卫生中心的149名新门诊患者进行了一项档案研究。在短期心理治疗中，在治疗开始时就规定了治疗时间的患者的脱落率（32%）约为短期（67%）和长期（61%）个体心理治疗患者脱落率的一半。脱落率的差异不能用患者人口统计学或诊断变量或研究中测量的治疗师特征来解释。结果表明，在治疗开始时对个人心理治疗设定特定的时间限制可以降低公共精神卫生诊所的患者辍学率。
The authors conducted an archival study of 149 new clinic patients at a large community mental health center. The dropout rate for patients in brief psychotherapy in which the length of therapy was specified at the outset of treatment (time-limited psychotherapy)(32%) was about one-half the dropout rate for patients in brief (67%) and long-term (61%) individual psychotherapy. The difference in dropout rates could not be explained by patient demographic or diagnostic variables or by therapist characteristics measured in the study. The results suggest that setting a specific time limit on individual psychotherapy at the outset of treatment can reduce the patient dropout rate in a public mental health clinic.
