Systematic review and meta-analysis of dropout rates in individual psychotherapy for generalized anxiety disorder

Conclusions In research investigating psychotherapy for GAD, approximately one in six clients can be expected to drop out of treatment. Dropout rate was not significantly moderated by the client, therapist or treatment variables investigated. Future research should specify the definition of dropout, reasons for dropout and associated correlates to assist the field’s progression.
