The therapist's therapist.
The authors present questionnaire data from 509 psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers on their personal treatment experiences. The findings address the relative importance of various therapist selection criteria, the professional and personal attributes of the chosen therapist, and the nascent trend of seeking more female and nonmedical psychotherapists.
