This presentation will outline the forces and factors, from within and without our field, that are shaping the mental health landscape and contributing to the diminished understanding and appreciation of relational, depth therapies. Misunderstandings among the public and policymakers about efficacy and “gold standard” treatments are common, and new technology apps and companies are redefining what therapy is at scale. From the insurance industry, to venture capital and private equity, to the educational system training therapists and the fragmentation of our field, there are many ways in which the work we do is threatened. To help therapists know what they can do to protect and advance their work, this presentation will address these factors as well as share key findings from the original, nationwide research study assessing what the public wants and needs from therapy conducted by the presenter on behalf of Psychotherapy Action Network.
