October 13-17, 2009. Practice Building Virtual Conference. Organized and produce by Therapist Leadership Institute.
Dr. Zur's Presentation Fees in Psychotherapy and Counseling: Establishing, negotiating and setting fees in therapy.
Money, like time and sex, are the most focused upon concepts in our culture. Freud observed more than half a century ago, money is even a bigger taboo than sex. This statement rings even more true now, at the beginning of the 21st century. Many therapists feel uncomfortable towards money. As a result, setting, charging and collecting fees in psychotherapy becomes a burdensome chore for many psychotherapists. Join us for an hour of myth busting and practical ideas about setting and collecting fees. |
