Clinicians also learn how to present an empirically based rationale and appropriate documentation for their services; select and make use of treatment outcome measures; and deal with clinical and ethical dilemmas that are likely to arise.

"This eloquent and insightful analysis of the interface between contemporary psychoanalysis and managed care will be an invaluable resource for practitioners of insight-oriented therapy. The book should be required reading for all clinical psychologists and clinical graduate students--and for managed care decision makers as well!" --Robert F. Bornstein, PhD, Department of Psychology, Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, PA "This book makes a timely, extraordinarily helpful and sensitive contribution toward easing the difficulties presently confronting mental health practitioners (and therein their patients). While the book is designed for psychoanalytically oriented clinicians, its straightforward and informative style will also render it accessible and helpful to clinicians working in other modalities, as well as students. The authors' constructive and thoughtful approach to effective practice will be of lasting value to the field." --Harold Cook, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Teachers C
