摘要
Presented here is an exploration of the motivations involved in the development and application of managed mental health care to the private practice of outpatient psychotherapy. The interaction of management policy and psychotherapy is conceptualized in a dynamic model designed to provide insights into effective care policies. The model is described first, then the development of managed care, which appears defensive and is becoming symptomatic to the point of needing significant change. It is suggested that management policies providing choices of therapists and therapies will be the most effective in addressing ethical fiscal, and psychological concerns of funders, consumers, and providers.
