More Australians than ever are seeking psychological treatment, with many people attending a private psychology practice in their area for this purpose. However, demand for psychological treatment exceeds supply with many private psychology practices closing their books or having long waiting times.
This means client value needs to be at the forefront of private psychology practice. If it is difficult to obtain treatment, ensuring it is effective when treatment occurs must be a priority. For treatment to be effective, it needs to be measured for outcomes and discussed with clients.
