The Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute outcome study 1930 was one of the first major reports published reviewing outcome of a large number of psychoanalytic cases.

Edited by Sandor Rado, Otto Fenichel and Carl Muller-Braunschweig it reported on activity during the first 10 years of the institute.

During this period 1955 assessments were conducted and as a result 721 people entered into analysis.

Of these 721 analyses:

  • 363 had completed their treatment during the study period
  • 241 had terminated prematurely
  • 117 were still in treatment

Of the 363 completed treatments:

  • 47 were considered uncured
  • 116 improved
  • 111 were considered cured.
