In this episode of Abstract Intelligence, we're diving deep into a fascinating study that explores the impact of seeing different therapists for intake and treatment.

The study, titled "Termination, Appointment Use, and Outcome Patterns Associated with Intake Therapist Discontinuity," looks at what happens when clients meet with one therapist for their initial intake session and then continue therapy with a different therapist.

We'll explore the researchers' findings, including how this "intake therapist discontinuity" affects things like:

• How likely clients are to stick with therapy
• How many sessions clients end up attending
• Whether clients actually get better

We'll also discuss the implications of these findings for how therapy is structured and what it means for both clients and therapists.

Curious to know if seeing different therapists for intake and treatment actually makes a difference?
