answer:I ask them what their philosophy is. Where do they fit in the pantheon of psychology. I ask them how they relate to their patients—looking for a sense of how they interact, how cool or close they are. I ask them if they have dealt with the issues I am presenting, and how much experience they have with it. I ask what kind of degree they have, so I can know the level of training. This doesn’t mean they are better or worse, but it tells me something about their training. I don’t expect to be able to know how compatible they are in the initial meeting. I just expect to figure out if I’m willing to try a few more sessions with them.
