CHECKING QUALIFICATIONS Once you have developed a list of potential clinicians, check these important details before you make your selection: • Schooling. In general, the more complicated your problem, the more training your therapist should have. Diagnosis “from scratch” will usually require the evaluation of a psychiatrist or a doctoral-level psychologist, though you may be referred to someone with less training for the actual delivery of psychotherapy. Although many little known or foreign schools can provide fine educations, you may feel more secure if your therapist attended a school with a familiar name.
That can be hard. After all, this is a friendly person who is intelligent, sympathetic, who likes and helps you, with whom you have shared feelings and thoughts, as you would with a close friend. But one reason therapists are effective sources of help is that they don’t have a personal relationship with you to conflict with the job of helping you feel better. When a therapist and patient do become friendly, even intimate, personal motives intrude upon what should be an objective view of your problems by someone who is supposed to have only your interest at heart.
Of course, if you are already in individual treatment and you also need some other type of therapy (couple or drug treatment, for example), your current clinician may have a good recommendation for you. One of my favorite techniques is to ask a nurse. Nurses, especially those who work on a psychiatric ward (or in a general hospital that admits psychiatric patients), get to see a large number of health care givers in action, and if you can find one who is willing to discuss the question with you, you’ll get a ground view of the local mental health care scene.
