^exactly. That’s not the “talk therapy” I or most people are referencing. That’s a psych eval or a general patient encounter like you would see in other fields of inpatient medicine but with a psych patient. I was referring to things like a full course of CBT, marriage counseling, or other more complex forms of psychotherapy (e.g. analysis) that have fallen out of favor with MDs because those 1 hour sessions don’t pay nearly as well as four 15min visits with a prescription. Medical students might get a tiny exposure to CBT, but no one is letting a random medical student sit in on their couples counseling or psychoanalysis, and a sitting in on a couple sessions here or there probably wouldn’t be too educational anyway.
