> How can you make an intelligent choice of any 'therapist' if the patient isn't given a listing of therapists in the group. How can we understand which "therapist' has a greater skill in the area we need, if they won't release ANY names of the groups' MDs, PhDs, or LCSWs, and when asking for someone who could help me, I given to an MD who at the END of the session says he doesn't handle adults.
It might be possible to "screen" psychiatrists to some extent over the phone before meeting with them. And if one coverage plan isn't reasonable, it might be worth complaining or (if possible) switching to another...
