“…It is interesting to note that some reports of non-engagement rates are slightly lower for marriage and family therapy based clinics or university counseling centers (Hersh, Cohen, Epstein, & Peca-Baker, 1989;Masi et al, 2003). Most of the well-known research on client retention problems in MFT focuses on clients that drop out of therapy across different phases of therapy instead of first session non-attendance (Allgood & Crane, 1991;Bischoff & Sprenkle, 1993).…”

A great deal of clinical research has sought to describe and suggest remedies for the client dropout phenomenon. However, few studies have addressed the equally pervasive, yet often ignored, non-engagement problem. An exploratory study was conducted to understand why many clients fail to engage in family therapy services after they have completed the initial intake. The results of the study suggest that therapist gender and experience level, clinic policies regarding videotaping sessions, family concerns, and changes in the presenting problem prior to the first session, had an impact on potential clients' decision to engage in therapy. Implications and future research are discussed.

Most patients quickly reschedule missed appointments, and those in more intensive treatments miss fewer appointments. Missed appointments for initial evaluation are not rescheduled most often. Patients in ongoing treatment who do not return may have histories of noncompliance with treatment. The high rate of rescheduling suggests that follow-up of patients who miss appointments should be a clinical decision rather than a routine policy.
