    Developing an algorithm which matches people with psychotherapists (thoughts wanted)

    HOT! 
    So one way to do it would be to have therapists, pay a subscription fee to be listed in my directory, take the personality inventory survey. People who then use the site to find a therapist-match will take the same survey. They will then be matched to therapist based on therapists who scored...

    Will do, thanks for the tip:) On a separate note, I am a bit weary using a personality matching test (client - to - therapist) as a therapist may be reluctant to have that sort of info revealed to the client. For example, if there's a fit in personality from the survey, a client say who rated...

    Hey I appreciate the support fellow Tailwinder;) I feel more invigorated these past few days to get this thing going! I see a lot of deficiencies in what this guy is offering on his site (won't get into all of them atm). In a way its helpful seeing how he implemented it as it gives me some...

    So after a bit of research I came upon an interesting site that pretty much implemented my idea. http://www.mytherapistmatch.com That said, the so-called measure this guy is using is a 17 item survey forced choice questionnaire where upon depending on how you (the prospective client) responds...

    That's the beauty of it. It's not about asking what they need, rather extrapolating from data they provide what would be the best fit therapist-wise. It takes out all the guess work and leaves the 'decision making' process to the algorithm itself. Self-awareness can be minimal in such a...

    Honestly I am not quite sure as I don't think I can just create and sell it off lol. I like the idea of advertising and offering the therapist some sort of incentive beyond getting them clients that are going to take best to their approach. Think of it in another way: the therapists' success...

    Developing an algorithm which matches people with psychotherapists (thoughts wanted)

    HOT! 
    That's what I had in mind, taking an algorithm that already exists and tweaking it, though no small feat in itself. Prior to getting my graduate degree in Counselling Psych I spent years in IT, and have a coding background too. So I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for me to...

    There are 100s of modalities, as I'd stated previously but to be more precise maybe only few dozen that are 'mainstream', that is listed on most directories. You can witle that number down even more to a small handful if we're talking about Employment Assistance Programs who only consider a...

    Developing an algorithm which matches people with psychotherapists (thoughts wanted)

    HOT! 
    That's EXACTLY what came to my mind last night. I would provide a concise easy to understand detail on the therapeutic modalities best suited to the specific person. This may also force some therapist, over time, to have a niche. I know the counselling field is inundated with generalists...

    I am wondering if it can be linked it to one of the many pre-existing free databases such as https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/. Basically the simplicity of this 'matchmaking' site is to match a client with the modality/theoretical approach most appropriate to their learning style/way...

    So, the idea came to me a few days ago. I am a psychotherapist myself in the process of building a private practice. I know that both as a practitioner and a client of mental health services there is no such system that accurately matches an individual with a specific type of therapist. Sure...

    In which case it couldn't hurt to have an "Other Notable Reads" section, or "Literary Giants that Inspire". Wonder if also naming the criterion to which somebody was chosen as a "leader" Any way to create a Spotify version for books? "If you like this book, u'll like these" maybe its been...

    Why no Moby Dick? It's probably the best story ever told. Man's narcissistic drive that leads to his own demise; Melville's parable designed to caution us on the cost of following Egoic pursuits, and the illusory self.

    NLP is a sham and has been debunked numerous times as nothing more than pseudo scientific mumbo jumbo over the past decade. Not sure about EFT but the REAL EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) works and its positive effects substantiated by numerous peer reviewed studies. OP, i can sum what you...

    Are there any tools I can use to help narrow where they might be, apart from the obvious such as social media?

    Perhaps setting up a co-dependency FB page, getting myself on local and global psychotherapist directories (not sure how often people use these tbh), a youtube channel offering some free advice, things of the sort. I can contribute to FB pages and BLOGS that already exist on the topic of...
