Excellent website to tell if your therapist is competent/professional or not

[Guest guest]

I found this website in a psych book I was reading and went to check it

out. I highly recommend it for anyone who is either in psychotherapy or is

considering it. It provides guidelines for how to judge your therapist's

level of competence and professionalism.

Of course this says nothing about whether or not your therapist will be a

good " fit " for you, or whether or not she/he will have training or

experience in your particular problems, but I think it's an excellent

guideline to let you get an idea of whether or not your therapist is

ethical and honest.

Wow, what a really informative article, Jen! I love the clear examples

describing the whole therapeutic setting and process, listing traits or

techniques in descending order from the highly professional, OK version to the

not-exactly-regular-but-acceptable version to the alarming, boundary-violating

NOT OK version. Very, very educational and useful article for rating the

professionalism, ethics, efficacy and overall quality of one's therapist and

therapy sessions; thanks for sharing the " straight dope " with us!
