title: A symposium on psychotherapy in the age of managed care.
abstract: This article is based upon a symposium presented at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on the Department of Psychiatry's 50th anniversary (September 20, 1997). The panel of psychotherapy scholar-clinicians discusses issues including: whether or not managed care and psychotherapy are compatible; the relevance of the Consumer Reports' psychotherapy study to MCOs' emphasis on brief therapy; how MCOs impact upon the therapist-patient relationship; the effects of MCOs on the psychotherapist's personal and professional identity; and training psychotherapists in the era of managed care. The paper is dedicated to Pietro Castelnuovo-Tedesco, M.D., Vanderbilt's Blakemore Professor of Psychiatry, who died on January 24, 1998.
