Editorial Reviews

Review
"Changes in the health care delivery system have made it difficult for psychologists to practice ethically and autonomously. Nevertheless, like me, there are many experienced and new clinicians who see independent practice as the way in which they want to serve the public. Kolt's book provides all of us with useful and creative ways in which we can successfully meet the goal of a rewarding practice which meets the myriad needs of the American people." -- Dorothy W. Cantor, Psy.D., Former President, American Psychological Association

"Dr. Kolt provides an excellent resource for those beginning practice as well as for those facing the challenges of a new healthcare marketplace. This is a welcome and much needed resource to enable therapists to maintain the integrity of a caring practice while also being successful in business. This is a gift to her profession." -- Reverend Richard Bowyer, Campus Minister, Wesley Foundation at Fairmont State College

"Dr. Kolt understands the pressures and challenges that face professionals in today's market economy and demonstrates how to turn this awareness into a successful practice...This book is an indispensable resource which practitioners will reach for again and again." -- Noemi Balinth, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, New York State Psychological Association President, 2000

"Dr. Kolt's book should be required reading for every psychologist or therapist launching a practice. Built on a solid foundation of proven marketing techniques, she provides the reader with both the tools to build a niche market practice and the confidence to achieve success. This book is the course in building a practice--and a career in psychology--that most doctoral students never receive." -- Judith E. N. Albino, Ph.D., President, California School of Professional Psychology

"Dr. Kolt's optimistic and yet inspirational and clear ideas put building a psychotherapy practice back into focus. It is a must T.D.R. (Therapists' Desk Reference) for every clinician." -- Richard J. Kay, M.A., President, Michigan Professional Psychology Association

"Positive, Proactive and Practical! Dr Kolt's creative, challenging and constructive tools are sure to bring you success."
Alice Rubenstein, Ed.D., Past President, American Psychological Association, Division of Psychotherapy

Noemi Balinth, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, New York State Psychological Association President, 2000 -- Review

"Positive, Proactive, and Practical! Dr. Kolt's creative, challenging, and constructive tools are sure to bring you success." -- Alice Rubenstein, Ed.D., Past President, American Psychological Association, Division of Psychotherapy

"Reading Dr. Kolt's book is like having a mentor hold your hand and walk you through the practice development and marketing process step by step. It's time for graduate schools and internship programs to teach students these skills and this is the ideal text. Dr. Kolt's book is also an excellent resource for experienced psychologists who want to improve or reinvent their practices." -- Michael Brickey, Ph.D., ABPP

"There is a real value here for those who want a detailed map on building and maintaining a therapy practice." -- William Meyers, Former editor, APA Division 42, Independent Practitioner

"This book is for every psychologist who wants to have a more profitable practice. Well written, with essential information for psychologists who want to grow their practice. Want an ethical and successful practice that you control? If so, this book is for you. Dr. Kolt's book will not only help you obtain an ethical profitable practice, it will lead you through a path of self-discovery and provide a toolbox for obtaining your professional dreams. Dr. Kolt's book is a fascinating exercise in personal development in the service of professional growth. As any good psychologist should, Dr. Kolt helps you to clarify your own practice vision and then guides you to a custom plan for getting what you want. Not easy, but she has really done it. I love the motivational aspects of this book. Dr. Kolt not only gives you the tools needed to build your practice to your own specifications, she helps you defeat your own demons in the process. The amount of practice building help in this book is truly astounding. Dr. Kolt guides you through the options to develop a personal practice building plan, and then overcome the barriers to its acheivement." -- Judith Steward, Ph.D., President-Elect Designate, APA Division of Independent Practice

3.0 out of 5 stars not as promised, June 24, 2004
I was disappointed in this book. Although it has many ideas for practice building, very little of it applies specifically to finding clients who are willing to go around their insurance plans and pay cash for services. The rest of it could be found in any good marketing book. I was specifically interested in strategies for finding clients who will pay cash - all she really says here is that you need to be able to tell them why they should.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to build a thriving fee for service practice, October 25, 2001
By A Customer
I found this book to have concise information relative to the industry. Kolt's concept of creating "Niche" practice is pertinent to survival in the industry. This and Lynn Grodski's book on "Building your ideal Practice" are a great duo for anyone needing a boost in business mindset.
