Quote by Hans Eysenck
In our tabulation of psychoanalytic results, we have classed those who stopped treatment together with those not improved. This appears to be reasonable a patient who fails to finish his treatment, and is not improved, is surely a therapeutic failure.
Summary
This quote suggests that in psychoanalytic practice, individuals who have discontinued their treatment are categorized with those who did not show any improvement. The rationale behind this classification is that if a patient has stopped treatment and has not experienced any positive changes, then it is assumed that the therapy has been unsuccessful. This approach treats those who leave treatment prematurely as therapeutic failures, disregarding any potential improvements that could have occurred if the therapy had been completed.
