Abstract
In the Canadian province of Ontario, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is proposing to impose arbitrary limits on access to psychotherapy provided by physicians. This column presents and debunks 3 myths associated with this ill-conceived proposal: (1) that long-term psychotherapy costs the health care system too much money, making it necessary for the government to curb this spending; (2) that long-term psychotherapy is a non-evidence-based treatment being needlessly spent on the worried well; and (3) that we need to focus on quick treatments, not long ones.
