ServicesPeople do not always know what to expect when coming to a therapist office. The first visit, the intake/history is solely for the purpose of gaining information about the individual or couple. The first visit takes any where from 1 to 1 1/2 hours to complete. The Treatment plan in conjunction with the patient is completed at that time as well. All subsequent visits are therapy sessions based on the goals set down in the treatment plan. History is not only required but it is essential to be able to trust enough to give adequate and complete information. Often times information is withheld in the initial interview and it makes for a very strange interview as it is clear that accurate information has not been given and no amount of probing will elicit the information. Since the treatment plan is constructed on the information that the patient has given, it is important to recognize that if one starts in the wrong place, we will end up in the wrong place. Therapy has a beginning a middle and an end. If people drop out prematurely, often times the problems will return in full force. the patient should take the time to return for a closing session so a referral can be given for remaining issues.
