And how do you define failure. Is someone who goes to 4 or 5 meetings and never comes back considered part of the failure rate. Someone who goes for a year to get the wife of his back. Someone who goes but never does any of the work. How do you define it???
+ some people are court-ordered to go. You cannot compute any stats unless every single person goes on his own volition, and not court-ordered, pressured by family, etc. Or, at least, studies should separate people who go on their own volition from people who were court-ordered to go.
Thanks for this!
