Premature client termination is a problem for both beginning and experienced clinicians. The objective of this book is to offer an understanding of why it happens and when it happens most frequently, as well as provide strategies supported by empirical data that meaningfully reduce the incidence of premature termination. This objective is certainly attained in a clear, concise and empirically supported style that is for the most part accessible to any level of counselor.(The Professional Counselor) One of the very best examples of the new generation of psychotherapy development. Based on rigorous research findings and a deep look into the preexisting literature, this book presents practical guidelines to understand premature termination and provides evidence-based strategies for how to engage patients in treatment. It will especially be a highlight for practitioners who are interested in a broad insight of the overall empirical literature. For graduate students in clinical and counseling psychology, this book might be an excellent prototype for how to bring rigorous quantitative research and convenient practice examples together.(PsycCRITIQUES) Informed, informative, pragmatic and practical, Premature Termination in Psychotherapy should be considered mandatory reading for both aspiring and practicing psychotherapists and is an essential, core addition to academic library Psychology/Psychiatry reference collections and supplemental reading lists.(Midwest Book Review)
