Quote:
Most psychiatrists in practice in the U.S. today function exclusively as psychopharmacologists, spending less than 30 minutes with patients once every few months. If a patient might benefit from talk therapy, often they are referred to a social worker or psychologist for such help. This has resulted in a "split treatment" model which has been criticized on various fronts ranging from its inconvenience to its ineffectiveness.
