Psychotherapy Action Network

PsiAN Chair and Co-Founder Linda Michaels has just been published in TAP, The American Psychoanalyst, and we could not be more proud.

Her article, "Holding the Frame in an Era of Corporate Care," addresses something that affects everyone who has ever been in therapy, is considering therapy, or provides it: the growing corporate takeover of the systems that surround psychotherapy.

Companies like Headway, Alma, and Grow Therapy promise to simplify practice management for therapists. What many clinicians and patients do not realize is what comes with that promise: data privacy concerns, disrupted continuity of care, eroded clinical autonomy, and financial structures that are rarely transparent until after therapists sign on.

This article makes the case, backed by PsiAN's research with nearly 700 mental health professionals, that protecting the conditions of therapy is not a bureaucratic issue. It is a clinical and human one.
