ABSTRACT
There are two prerequisites to using fee as a clinical tool in group therapy: First, the leader needs to feel “entitled” to his or her earnings and free to lift the money taboo in the group. Second, a fee and billing policy has to be presented to and accepted by prospective members in the pregroup interviews: members are responsible for paying the bill. Those using third-party payments should pay the therapist directly, if possible, and get reimbursed by the insurance company.
