Yes it is pretty well know within the field that most clients don't show up for the second appointment. And it is true that no one really knows why since clients who quit therapy are hard to track. I think it is probably due to some horrific therapists but mostly due to general ambivalence. Time and money are precious, so there has to be something compelling there for a client to return.
