I'm not a therapist (nor do I pretend to be one on TV or anywhere else), but my wife has been one for nearly 20 years. All we hear about nowadays is talk about "productivity" (i.e. number of patients seen in a day/week).
So, here's what I'm guessing therapy will look like in a few years: you know how your medical doctor now enters the room carrying a laptop and he/she writes notes during the exam? That's what therapy will be like - at least in mental health centers. Psychotherapists will have a tablet device on their laps instead of notebooks and the discussion will be focused on how their clients are progressing toward their goals. Forget about sessions designed to help the client obtain more insight about their thoughts and feelings unless such discussion can be had during the typical session time, which I predict will last about 15 minutes. Tell me I’m wrong about this, but that's what I'm seeing. Michael A.
