Abstract
This study investigated age, sex, and title of therapist as determinants of patients' preferences. In general it was found that (a) “psychologists” and “psychiatrists” were preferred to “behavioral consultants,” “emotional counselors,” and “psychoanalysts” who, in turn, were preferred to “social workers”; (b) male therapists were preferred to female therapists; and (c) 40-year-old therapists were preferred to 55-year-old therapists who, in turn, were preferred to 25-year-old therapists.Keywords
