Benefits of Split TreatmentBenefits of Split Treatment
More time with CliniciansWorking with two clinicians (50 min therapy, 10-30 min medication management)Vacations may be covered between clinicians
Cost effective mild-moderate cases are seen by therapist only (no meds yet)severe cases are referred to prescribing clinicians
Greater choice for client Enhanced support for clinicians
difficult clients / patientsprofessional education (therapist learns about medications / prescriber learns about therapy dynamics)
Enhanced Adherence – therapist encourages medication adherence, prescriber encourages continued therapy

Disadvantages of Split TreatmentDisadvantages of Split Treatment
Interdisciplinary Issues– Unfamiliarity with other clinicians– Inequality about professions– Political tension about prescribing privileges– Educational differences (LCSW, EdS, PsyD, PhD)
Communication– If done poorly – misperceptions or misunderstanding
Transference & CountertransferenceLegal Risks– Psychiatrists who used to do both, now doing just one, less time, less
knowledge, less relationship, same liability riskEthical Problems– Why was split treatment decided? How is split treatment dictated?
Resources (10 therapists & 1 psychiatrist); Managed care companies– Roll of prescribers: supervisory v. consultative v. collaborative
