ABSTRACT

Finding a therapist who the people want to work with may be a matter of trial and error. One of the difficulties of paying is that it can sometimes become the focus of complicated feelings. Perhaps the best and easiest way to find a therapist is by personal recommendation. Different organizations will have varying numbers of experienced and available therapists. Speaking to someone in a therapeutic/analytic setting is quite different to speaking to someone anywhere else, and the fact that the therapist gets paid is obviously one of the things that makes this the case. Of course, if the people are going to get any useful work done at all, they will probably have to commit to a certain therapist at some point. It’s not unusual for friends and couples in therapy to compete over whose therapist is better.
