The study aims to investigate the relationship between therapeutic alliance and drop-out to examine which factors in the context of therapeutic sessions may be associated with early termination of therapy by clients. Five therapeutic processes with different outcomes, for a total of 24 sessions, were analyzed through a mixed methodology that included an initial descriptive analysis with SOFTA, followed by a clinical-constructionist-dialogical analysis. The results show a fluctuating trend both in the completed therapeutic processes and in the dropouts and point out the in-session factors linked to the ruptures and failures to repair the alliance.
Keywords: Drop-out, therapeutic alliance, SOFTA, therapeutic relationship, positioning, discourse analysis.
