Investigating differences in choice decisions for physicians, dentists and lawyers.

This paper presents findings from a study investigating differences in the importance of nineteen criteria in the choice of professionals from three professional groups--physicians, dentists, and lawyers. Knowledge is the most important for all three groups but is less so for doctors. Discussions about the problem and its treatment are both less important for dentists. Six characteristics of professional service providers are used to explain differences.

The differing requirements of collateral clients and primary alcohol users in outpatient treatment.

Treatment data were collected on 134 clients of the Alcohol Counseling and Education Program, Taunton, Massachusetts: 31 of these clients were collateral clients; 103, primary users. Short-term improvements in the emotional status (i.e., improvements that occurred within the period of treatment) of collateral clients seem dependent upon different treatment modalities than do those of primary users. Collateral clients seem, on the one hand, responsive to individual counseling; primary users, on the other, to group (including self-help, Alcoholics Anonymous) therapy.
