Talk Therapy in the NY Times

Thanks to @LTDiep for pointing out this article in the NYTimes to to me via Twitter! While some practices turn to drugs (see below), my Naked Therapy talk therapy practice is on the rise!

Talk Doesn’t Pay, So Psychiatry Turns Instead to Drug Therapy
Like many of the nation’s 48,000 psychiatrists, Dr. Levin, in large part because of changes in how much insurance will pay, no longer provides talk therapy, the form of psychiatry popularized by Sigmund Freud that dominated the profession for decades. Instead, he prescribes medication, usually after a brief consultation with each patient. So Dr. Levin sent the man away with a referral to a less costly therapist and a personal crisis unexplored and unresolved.
