This study reviewed twelve psychodynamic therapy dropouts, identifying patient motivation and narcissistic traits as key predictors of premature termination. Understanding these factors can help improve patient retention in short-term therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychotherapy Research

Context:

  • Examines psychodynamic short-term therapies.
  • Focuses on the cyclic maladaptive pattern (CMP) model.

Purpose:

  • To review twelve dropout cases in psychodynamic therapy.
  • To identify predictors of premature termination.
  • To describe patterns of therapy dropout dynamics.

Summary:

  • Analyzed initial diagnostics, therapy sessions, and supervision records of dropout cases.
  • Investigated patient motivation, narcissistic traits, and interpersonal behaviors.
  • Highlighted the role of therapeutic alliance and projective dynamics in dropouts, especially with narcissistic patients.
  • Identified therapist countertransference as a factor in patient dropout.
