Bingo. Nothing will change until this economic incentive stays in place. Everything is based upon the economy. That's why I don't understand people who discuss mental health care system outside of the bigger politico-economic system and who are disengaged from what's going on in the world because they are "not interested in politics", as if politics and economy don't affect them somehow. They affect every single aspect of our everyday life. For example, if this outrageous trade agreement (TPP) comes into effect in September, then all those issues we discuss here will eventually be irrelevant as the whole mental health and health in general will only be about drugs and drugging people - the more the better as it increases the Pharma's bottom line. This is just one tiny example of how our life as we know it could come to an end, thanks to the banksters and multi-national corporations. I don't mean to get political here but to discuss psychotherapy as if it had nothing to do with the larger politico-economic structures it is a part of and to think it could change without larger politico-economic changes is ignorant. On a positive note, more and more people in the country and around the world are waking up. But this is a very slow process and, I believe, a few decades will pass before we will see meaningful changes in the MH system. For a long time the larger structures will have to go through transformations first. At this point, mental health is not on the priority list for large masses of people let alone talk therapy. Forget therapy issues. Millions of people are just trying to make ends meet.
