Psychotherapy and Managed Care

"This resource provides a concise review of the crises confronting therapists and a discussion of some effective responses to them. It emphasizes how increased accountability can spur the field's growth and improvement if practitioners are helped to perceive it as a challenge rather than a threat. The author explores ethical means of accommodating new practice realities and encourages practitioners to develop new ways of reaching a more diverse spectrum of consumers. The book further supports the scientist-practitioner model and urges therapists to deploy current research in their clinical work."--BOOK JACKET.
