Terminación Prematura en Psicoterapia: Una revisión narrativa

Psychotherapy is an effective resource, but not necessarily for all people. One clinical problem we encounter in the field is premature termination by the patient without the corresponding arrangement with the psychotherapist. This implies a conceptual and operational problem, as there are different ways to define said outcome, as well as different ways of assessing it. The objective of this work is to carry out a non-systematic review on the subject, taking as axis the different ways in which the concept has been defined, the different ways of assessing it, the results of meta-analysis carried out on the subject and the variables that can modulate it.
