This is something I'm more wondering about than anything else. I read a book where the character went into inpatient therapy and their T came by to check on them.
I was wondering if a client's is in inpatient does the T come to check on them or to have a session? Don't worry I'm not in crisis (or have a T). |

I have gone inpatient several times and my personal T never came to the hospital. I had private sessions with the hospital T.

Where I work I think I have seen a therapist visit a patient MAYBE 5 times... a few times they have called the patient on the phone. Case managers typically come in and T's will call the inpatient case worker to arrange after care. We have had a few of my therapists patients and I have never had her come in but does talk to the case manager.

First time I was ever hospitalized (35 years ago), my personal T came twice in the two weeks I was there. Never since, though (through many different Ts, different hospitals). I wouldn't expect my current T to. One of her clinicians also works at one of the local hospitals so I know she keeps tabs on me if I'm there.

I had one therapist who came to see me while I was hospitalized and another who called to check in with me. It wasn't like real therapy sessions or anything--more just a check-in and some discharge planning stuff.

I used to work at a psych hospital and we sometimes had outpatient therapists come in to visit their patients, but not frequently. We had a rule that they couldn't do therapy, provide treatment, etc. It had to be a social visit. I think the worry was that therapists might provide treatment at odds with the treatment provided in the hospital and confuse the patient, so that's why they are not supposed to do therapy there.

I've never had a t visit except the one that terminated me while I was there. She figured the hospital was a safe place to tell me I was too much of a liability and she doesn't want to see me again. Other t's have returned my calls while there, but no one has visited.

I have had a client's usual therapist assist me in getting my client out of bad hospitalizations. I have been able to get them to go visit the client and then get them to come to court on the client's behalf.

Interesting topic
![]() I have never been in mental hospital but I was thinking about it to help myself with drug addictions and then I was thinking would my T visit me there. I think he wouldnt have a time and if he visited me other docs who works there would have questions why does he visit me if they have therapists there too |

Therapists are not allowed visit patents in a psy ward in Ireland unless the client asks them to. A lot of things are a big No no here.
