Summary:

Many mental health professionals are alarmed at how corporate policies and managed care have changed the nature of psychotherapy. The profit motive seems to have replaced the delicate balance of art and science that many consider the hallmark of psychotherapy. Many clinicians also fear the changes that new policies are having on their clients. For clinicians confused about how to maintain the integrity of their clinical work while playing by the new rules, this book provides a sensitive and compassionate guide.
