The authors studied psychotherapeutic practices commonly used in managed care settings and the theories and rhetorical strategies that justify them to speculate about if or how they are beginning to influence societywide understandings about the proper way of being human at the turn of the millennium. The practices--and effects--of managed care regulations on the self are interpreted by studying how the patient, the therapist, and the therapeutic relationship come to light in managed care settings. These categories are then used to speculate about the configuration of the newly emerging, 21st-century self. By extending hermeneutic concerns about instrumentalism and technicism, the authors suggest a new way of thinking about psychotherapy modeled less on positivist science and more on moral discourse. Finally, given this more hermeneutic understanding of psychotherapy, the authors speculate about alternative conceptions and arrangements of care.

“…In many managed care settings, particularly those health maintenance organizations (HMOs) where mental health services are provided by the HMO itself rather than by an external network of community-based practitioners, treating anxiety requires a high degree of collaboration between physicians or psychiatrists and social workers. Although social workers and other mental health professionals may disagree on the primacy of medication, it nonetheless is frequently used and is often the first intervention in the treatment of anxiety and other mental health problems (Kisch, 1991). Although medication may have demonstrated effectiveness, it cannot be the sole intervention for treating problems such as anxiety.…”

Objective: A controlled comparison of the effects of medication alone and medication in conjunction with cognitive-behavioral group therapy in the treatment of panic disorder. Method: A quasi-experimental research design was used to compare posttest anxiety scores of clients who received medication alone (n = 26) and those who received weekly therapy in addition to medication (n = 30). The Somatic, Cognitive, Behavioral Anxiety Inventory, a 36-item Likert scale, was used to measure anxiety. One treatment consisted of the prescribed use of medication; the second treatment consisted of medication plus 8 weeks of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Results: Analysis of variance revealed significant differences in posttest anxiety scores between the two groups. Members of the medication plus therapy group had lower posttest anxiety scores than those who received medication alone. Conclusions: The findings support the hypothesis that medication in conjunction with cognitive-behavioral therapy is more efficacious than medication alone to treat panic disorder.
