“…The results of both Ford (1978) and Alexander et al (1976) suggested that the effects of relationship skills on the part of the therapist were most likely enhanced by a well-structured therapeutic agenda and operational framework. Wilson and Evans (1977) cautioned that it would be premature to think that therapeutic outcome can be attributed causally to social influence variables, although they do seem necessary for success.…”

“…To test this hypothesis in further work it might be possible to combine different types of cohesion interventions with different smoking treatment packages. Several authors suggest that the effects of interpersonal relationship variables are enhanced by the use of structured treatment appraoches (Alexander et al, 1976;Ford, 1978). The suggestion is made that there is an interaction between level or degree of relationship and type or degree of structured (behavioral) treatment.…”

Systematic assessments of the influence of interpersonal relationship variables on outcome are lacking in investigations of smoking treatments. The present study undertook an investigation of the influence of group cohesiveness on two multicomponent behavioral treatments of smoking. Subjects (41 women and 31 men) were randomly assigned to treatment according to a 2 (enriched vs. standard cohesiveness) X 2 (satiation vs. nicotine fading) factorial design. Enriched cohesiveness subjects not only scored higher on several indexes of cohesion but tended to be more successful over a short term in modifying their smoking behavior.

SummaryAim of the study: The paper presents the qualitative study of premature termination in couple therapy. The aim of the research was to answer why couples drop-out from couple therapy at the early stage of treatment. Subject: To understand the complexity of this event the researchers decided to examine the phenomenon of early drop-out from three different perspectives, that is: from therapists and both spouses point of view. methods:The therapists and couples that ended the therapy prematurely were interviewed. Among examined drop-out cases, there were selected three which fulfilled the criteria for early drop-out. Data were analyzed according to the method of cross-case analysis. Results. As a result common categories were singled out which were characteristic for those three cases of drop-out. Discussion: The distinguished categories of 'the split of the working alliance' and 'the split of the therapeutic bond' show that the conflict which the couple brought to the therapy was reflected in their experience of the therapy and the therapist. Conclusions: Premature termination in couple therapy is a part of therapeutic process.couple therapy / drop-out / qualitative research / therapeutic process

“…There exist a number of studies that underline connection of premature termination in couple and family therapy with the therapeutic process like: the importance of a constant therapeutic setting [6] or the role of the therapeutic alliance from the first sessions [7]. In other studies the drop out is connected with the therapist's conviction about errors in the therapy [8][9][10] or about the lack of possibility of helping [11]. Essential are also problems associated with refunds and charges for the treatment, as well as the frequency of meetings and the awaiting time for the first consultation [1].…”

Aim of the studyThe problem of premature ending of therapy is a common phenomenon and is taken under consideration as closely related to effectiveness of therapy. The crucial aim of presented study was to investigate how members of a family interpret this phenomenon.Subject or material and methodsThe research was based on interviews with drop-out clients who had participated in systematic couple therapy. The qualitative data was analyzed using the four stages methodology of grounded theory. The program used to code the data was Weft QDA.ResultsThe result pointed out, that drop-out from therapy is a procesual phenomenon and is connected with: a context of application, a kind of relationship between partners, an assessment of therapy. It was confirmed in the research group that the level of satisfaction from effects of therapy was related to premature termination.DiscussionThe research indicated how consequences of drop-out can affect the family system.ConclusionsThe high frequency of positive emotions and opinions occurring in drop-out context shows that drop-out phenomenon should not be considered only as a therapeutic failure.
