Attitudes of psychiatric residents toward payment of psychotherapy fees
BS Meyers
A preliminary exploration of psychiatric residents' thinking on the subject
of psychotherapy fees revealed a pattern of inconsistencies in attitudes
and a divergence between attitudes and practice. The author discusses these
findings in the light of theoretical considerations and the effect of such
attitudes on clinic administration and patient treatment. He emphasizes
education about and discussion of fees as important aspects of residency
training.
