The cost-effectiveness of psychotherapy

SG Lazar and GO Gabbard
Department of Psychiatry of Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, D.C., USA.

Recent studies suggest that psychotherapy can be cost-effective, especially for certain patient populations. These patients include, among others, those with schizophrenia, those with borderline personality disorder, and certain child patients, as well as certain medical patients with concomitant psychiatric illness. In addition, several surveys and actuarial studies suggest better outcomes and cost savings are attained when psychotherapy is available as medically necessary without arbitrary restrictions.
