Psychotherapy fees and residency training
SA Pasternack and P Treiger
Many residents in psychiatry tend to ignore their patients' attitudes and
behavior concerning payment of fees for psychotherapy. The authors report
on a new fee policy program designed to earn additional revenue for a
low-fee outpatient psychotherapy clinic; they stress the therapeutic
importance of resident and patient attention to fee-related issues.
