| dc.description.abstract | Previous studies looking at outcome expectations for psychotherapy have only taken duration expectations into account. The present study examined expectations for both the duration and the effectiveness of psychotherapy by using a delay discounting method. Data from 110 participants indicates that a 2 session treatment is expected to have a 25% recovery rate, a 4 session 41% recovery rate, an 8 session 62% recovery rate, a 15 session 72% recovery rate, and a 26 session 77% recovery rate. When compared to the dose-effect literature there appears to be a discrepancy between expectations and the actual effectiveness of psychotherapy. This discrepancy is discussed in terms of premature termination and treatment outcome. | |
