> To answer your second question -- what makes the p-docs I've worked with great (to me) is that (1) they show genuine compassion and consideration; (2) they try their hardest, give me their undivided attention and listen to what I have to say. (3) they understand and are unhappy with the limits of biological treatments and do their best to minimize side effects and research/consult on treatments they haven't considered or are unfamiliar with. (4) All the best p-docs I've had take therapy very seriously and would never recommend medical treatment without therapy. Maybe some people feel they don't need this or it hasn't done them any good. I could not have gotten better without therapy and all the p-docs I've seen have great respect for social workers and other therapists and the various types of therapy offered - CBT, DBT, psych-dynamic, mindfulness-based therapy, etc.
