One of the characteristics of the best outpatient treaters is their capacity to manage their own anxieties so as not to interfere with their patients' progress. This does not mean "sitting on," shutting out, or otherwise ignoring those signals to prevent their intruding into the therapeutic space. On the contrary, this requires that a clinician be acutely aware of his or her internal dialogue and be able to listen to use it to facilitate the treatment. This has meant simultaneously listening to oneself while paying complete attention to one's patient. This paradox is part of the nature of this work and remains one of its important features. Today, those who choose to treat psychiatric patients in this setting are presented with many more such paradoxes, including the necessity of being aware of (1) populations needing to be served while providing the best care for individual patients; (2) limited resources; and (3) balancing ethical, fiscal, legal, and clinical concerns. This article demonstrates that the successful development of outpatient services in a managed care environment requires attention to these same tensions on a larger scale. It also shows that understanding the evolution of managed care and the myriad competing interests involved are necessary to be able to care successfully for psychiatric patients.
