An Evaluation of Jochim's PT Scale in the Prediction of Premature Termination from Outpatient Psychotherapy.

Kelner, Frederick A.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v38 n1 p106-08 Jan 1982

Studied the generalizability of Jochim's Premature Termination (PT) scale. Using the recommended cut-off scores, 50 percent of the subjects were classified inaccurately or unclassifiable. The best cut-off score for this sample produced an error rate of 36.9 percent. Suggests directing attention to personality blends may maximize counselor and client strengths. (Author/JAC)
