McKell,
Good question.

If you were asked if you thought you were receiving the BEST possible care available for your pathology (illness), how would you answer?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

I would have to say yes, because my Pdoc and T work closely together. They are both very knowledgeable, which gives me peace of mind.

2) What criteria do you think are important to consider when judging the quality of your overall mental health care? (pharmacology and psychotherapy) Look deeper than just whether you like or dislike your therapist-- Is just being licensed, nice, and a good listener enough to all it quality care? /quote]

I think you know it when you have it. Yes, my T and Pdoc both have Doctorate's, which I think helps. However, they both are very empathic and listen to what I have to say. My Pdoc used to be a pharmacist and knows a lot about pharmacology. And my T has been in practice a long time. You can tell that this field comes naturally to them.

3) Do you have the same quality standards for your personal treatment as you do for others (i.e. your children or other family members)?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

Well, as far as Ts and Pdocs go, yes. I also have the same standards that I hold for my general practitioners.

Hope that helps
