“…For example, studies have demonstrated that clients who dropped out of treatment viewed the therapist as less expert or competent and trustworthy (Acosta, 1980; Dyck, Joyce, & Azim, 1984; Grimes & Murdock, 1989; Kokotovic & Tracey, 1987) and less attractive (Acosta, 1980; Beckham, 1992; McNeill, May, & Lee, 1987; Mohl, Martinez, Ticknor, Huang, & Cordell, 1991). Further studies found that clients who drop out of treatment are more dissatisfied than those who do not (Cross & Warren, 1984; Denner & Halprin, 1974; Dyck et al, 1984; Kokotovic & Tracy, 1987; McNeill et al, 1987), although a few retrospective studies using telephone and mail surveys reported relatively high levels of satisfaction among dropouts (Denner & Halprin, 1974; Kline, Adrian, & Spevak, 1974; Pekarik, 1983b; Silverman & Beech, 1979). These latter results should be interpreted with caution, however, because most had very low response rates, thereby increasing the probability for response bias.…”
