title: Private psychiatric practice in an era of managed care.
abstract: Managed care is a given for private practice right now. It is important to develop a practice you can be proud of and be comfortable to work in by practicing ethically, with high standards for quality. Be persistent in expecting the same from the managed care companies, your colleagues, and your patients. Solid clinical and business principles are the backbone of private practice.
