How I wish this guy was my supervisor but his rates are unaffordable for me. He's worth every penny from the consultations I have been able to witness.
Excellent interview. His point that there is a glut of therapists and that access isn't the real issue sounds spot on. Indeed, the real issue is the lack of meaningful psychotherapy available. The good clinicians I know really are booked up. Also, patients should be educated about something else: professional fees tend to be positively correlated with the quality of services. Thus, patients who "value shop" for a therapist are making a big mistake. Fees, as long as they are usual and customary, should be the patient's last consideration. For example, would they also prefer the cheapest surgeon available if they went into hospital - good luck with that.
I really wish Shedler's views were more well known, I think it's so important
Shedler is the man!!

Do keep in mind that Life Coaching has elbowed out psychotherapy. Life Coaching is Olympic training meets psyche.
