abstract: In a quasi-experimental design, four groups were compared, (a) patients who had terminated psychoanalysis of more than two years' duration; (b) patients who had terminated individual psychotherapy of more than two years' duration; (c) patients who had terminated various kinds of low-dose psychotherapies; (d) patients who had not been in any recent psychotherapy. Repeated follow-up questionnaires, roughly one and two years after termination, showed that psychoanalysis and long-term therapy patients had superior outcomes on measures of Symptom, social adjustment, and existential attitudes, in comparison with patients without any recent therapy or patients who had been in various kinds of low-dose therapies. During the second year of follow-up, the differentiation among the groups increased, with psychoanalysis developing in a more positive way than the other treatments.
