Home insurance
Home insurance provides compensation for damage or destruction of a home from disasters. In some geographical areas, the standard insurances excludes certain types of disasters, such as flood and earthquakes, that require additional coverage. Maintenance-related problems are the homeowners' responsibility. The policy may include inventory, or this can be bought as a separate policy, especially for people who rent housing. In some countries, insurers offer a package which may include liability and legal responsibility for injuries and property damage caused by members of the household, including pets
Auto insurance
Auto insurance protects you against financial loss if you have an accident. It is a contract between you and the insurance company. You agree to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as defined in your policy. Auto insurance provides property, liability and medical coverage:
1. Property coverage pays for damage to or theft of your car.
2. Liability coverage pays for your legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage.
3. Medical coverage pays for the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost wages and funeral expenses.
An auto insurance policy comprises six kinds of coverage. Most countries require you to buy some, but not all, of these coverages. If you're financing a car, your lender may also have requirements. Most auto policies are for six months to a year.
In the, your insurance company should notify you by mail when it’s time to renew the policy and to pay your premium.

Types of insurance
Any risk that can be quantified can potentially be insured. Specific kinds of risk that may give rise to claims are known as "perils". An insurance policy will set out in detail which perils are covered by the policy and which are not. Below are (non-exhaustive) lists of the many different types of insurance that exist. A single policy may cover risks in one or more of the categories set out below. For example, auto insurance would typically cover both property risk (covering the risk of theft or damage to the car) and liability risk (covering legal claims from causing an accident). A s insurance policy in the U.S. typically includes property insurance covering damage to the home and the owner's belongings, liability insurance covering certain legal claims against the owner, and even a small amount of coverage for medical expenses of guests who are injured on the owner's property.
Business can be any kind of insurance that protects businesses against risks. Some principal subtypes of business insurance are (a) the various kinds of professional liability insurance, also called professional indemnity insurance, which are discussed below under that name; and (b) the business owner's policy (BOP), which bundles into one policy many of the kinds of coverage that a business owner needs, in a way analogous to how homeowners insurance bundles the coverages that a homeowner needs.

History of insurance
In some sense we can say that insurance appears simultaneously with the appearance of human society. We know of two types of economies in human societies: money economies (with markets, money, financial instruments and so on) and non-money or natural economies (without money, markets, financial instruments and so on). The second type is a more ancient form than the first. In such an economy and community, we can see insurance in the form of people helping each other. For example, if a house burns down, the members of the community help build a new one. Should the same thing happen to one's neighbour, the other neighbours must help. Otherwise, neighbours will not receive help in the future. This type of insurance has survived to the present day in some countries where modern money economy with its financial instruments is not widespread (for example countries in the territory of the former Soviet Union).
Turning to insurance in the modern sense (i.e., insurance in a modern money economy, in which insurance is part of the financial sphere), early methods of transferring or distributing risk were practised by and traders as long ago as the and BC, respectively. Chinese merchants travelling treacherous river rapids would redistribute their wares across many vessels to limit the loss due to any single vessel's capsizing. The Babylonians developed a system which was recorded in the famous, c. 1750 BC, and practised by early sailing If a merchant received a loan to fund his shipment, he would pay the lender an additional sum in exchange for the lender's guarantee to cancel the loan should the shipment be stolen or lost at sea.

Claims
Claims and loss handling is the materialized utility of insurance; it is the actual "product" paid for, though one hopes it will never need to be used. Claims may be filed by insureds directly with the insurer or through brokers or agents. The insurer may require that the claim be filed on its own proprietary forms, or may accept claims on a standard industry form such as those produced by
Insurance company claim departments employ a large number of supported by a staff of and Incoming claims are classified based on severity and are assigned to adjusters whose settlement authority varies with their knowledge and experience. The adjuster undertakes a thorough investigation of each claim, usually in close cooperation with the insured, determines its reasonable monetary value, and authorizes payment. Adjusting liability insurance claims is particularly difficult because there is a third party involved (the plaintiff who is suing the insured) who is under no contractual obligation to cooperate with the insurer and in fact may regard the insurer as a. The adjuster must obtain legal counsel for the insured (either inside "house" counsel or outside "panel" counsel), monitor litigation that may take years to complete, and appear in person or over the telephone with settlement authority at a mandatory settlement conference when requested by the judge.
In managing the claims handling function, insurers seek to balance the elements of customer satisfaction, administrative handling expenses, and claims overpayment leakages. As part of this balancing act, are a major business risk that must be managed and overcome. Disputes between insurers and insureds over the validity of claims or claims handling practices occasionally escalate into litigation; see

Insurers' business model
The business model can be reduced to a simple equation: Profit = earned premium+ investment income - incurred loss - underwriting expenses.
Insurers make money in two ways:
1. Through, the process by which insurers select the risks to insure and decide how much in premiums to charge for accepting those risks;
2. By the premiums they collect from insured parties.
The most complicated aspect of the insurance business is the of policies. Using a wide assortment of data, insurers predict the likelihood that a claim will be made against their policies and price products accordingly. To this end, insurers use to quantify the risks they are willing to assume and the premium they will charge to assume them. Data is analyzed to fairly accurately project the rate of future claims based on a given risk. Actuarial science uses and to analyze the risks associated with the range of perils covered, and these scientific principles are used to determine an insurer's overall exposure. Upon termination of a given policy, the amount of premium collected and the investment gains thereon minus the amount paid out in claims is the insurer's on that policy. Of course, from the insurer's perspective, some policies are "winners" (i.e., the insurer pays out less in claims and expenses than it receives in premiums and investment income) and some are "losers" (i.e., the insurer pays out more in claims and expenses than it receives in premiums and investment income); insurance companies essentially use actuarial science to attempt to underwrite enough "winning" policies to pay out on the "losers" while still maintaining profitability.

Indemnification
The technical definition of "indemnity" means to make whole again. There are two types of insurance contracts;
1. an "indemnity" policy and
2. a "pay on behalf" or "on behalf of"] policy.
The difference is significant on paper, but rarely material in practice.
An "indemnity" policy will never pay claims until the insured has paid out of pocket to some third party; for example, a visitor to your home slips on a floor that you left wet and sues you for $10,000 and wins. Under an "indemnity" policy the homeowner would have to come up with the $10,000 to pay for the visitor's fall and then would be "indemnified" by the insurance carrier for the out of pocket costs (the $10,000)
Under the same situation, a "pay on behalf" policy, the insurance carrier would pay the claim and the insured (the homeowner) would not be out of pocket for anything. Most modern liability insurance is written on the basis of "pay on behalf" language
An entity seeking to transfer risk (an individual, corporation, or association of any type, etc.) becomes the 'insured' party once risk is assumed by an 'insurer', the insuring party, by means of a called an insurance 'policy'. Generally, an insurance contract includes, at a minimum, the following elements: the parties (the insurer, the insured, the beneficiaries), the premium, the period of coverage, the particular loss event covered, the amount of coverage (i.e., the amount to be paid to the insured or beneficiary in the event of a loss), and exclusions (events not covered). An insured is thus said to be "" against the loss covered in the policy.

An insured is thus said to be "" against the loss covered in the policy.
Principles of insurance
A large number of homogeneous exposure units. The vast majority of insurance policies are provided for individual members of very large classes. Automobile insurance, for example, covered about 175 million automobiles in the United States in 2004[2] The existence of a large number of homogeneous exposure units allows insurers to benefit from the so-called “which in effect states that as the number of exposure units increases, the actual results are increasingly likely to become close to expected results. There are exceptions to this criterion. is famous for insuring the life or health of actors, actresses and sports figures. Satellite Launch insurance covers events that are infrequent. Large commercial property policies may insure exceptional properties for which there are no ‘homogeneous’ exposure units. Despite failing on this criterion, many exposures like these are generally considered to be insurable.
2. Definite Loss. The event that gives rise to the loss that is subject to the insured, at least in principle, take place at a known time, in a known place, and from a known cause. The classic example is death of an insured person on a life insurance policy. Fire, automobile accidents, and worker injuries may all easily meet this criterion. Other types of losses may only be definite in theory. Occupational disease, for instance, may involve prolonged exposure to injurious conditions where no specific time, place or cause is identifiable. Ideally, the time, place and cause of a loss should be clear enough that a reasonable person, with sufficient information, could objectively verify all three elements.
3. Accidental Loss. The event that constitutes the trigger of a claim should be fortuitous, or at least outside the control of the beneficiary of the insurance. The loss should be ‘pure,’ in the sense that it results from an event for which there is only the opportunity for cost. Events that contain speculative elements, such as ordinary business risks, are generally not considered insurable.

Definition
A promise of compensation for specific potential future losses in exchange for a periodic payment. Insurance is designed to protect the finance well-being of an insurance company or other entity in the case of unexpected loss. Some forms of insurance are required by law, while others are optional. Agreeing to the terms of an insurance policy creates a contract between the insured and the insurer. In exchange for payments from the insured (called premiums), the insurer agrees to pay the policy holder a sum of Monet upon the occurrence of a specific event. In most cases, the policy holder pays part of the loss (called the deductible) and the insurer pays the rest. Examples include car insurance, health insurance disability insurance, life insurance, and business insurance.
SCOPIC
One of the main negative factors in envoking SCOPIC (on the salvors behalf) is if the salvage attempt is successful the amount at which the salvor can claim under article 13 of LOF is discounted.
The Lloyd's Open Form, once agreed, allows salvage attempts to begin immediately. The extent of any award is determined later; although the standard wording refers to the Chairman of Lloyd's arbitrating any award, in practice the role of arbitrator is passed to specialist admiralty
uardian Disability Insurance Specimen Policy
A personal long term disability insurance policy is a legal document, and everything you think you have coverage for must be written into the actual disability insurance policy. If you think you see something on a proposal, or an agent tells you something, it is not a fact until you see it written into your physical disability insurance policy. The policy is the legal document, and you only have coverage that is outlined in the disability insurance policy. Our agency provides you with a sample disability insurance policy for download here, feel free to print it and spend a lot of time reviewing it. We believe that once you understand how the Provider Plus disability insurance policy pays a claim, you would not choose any other coverage. This is the policy that sells itself, so take some time to review it here.
There are several areas we encourage our customers to pay close attention to when reviewing a specimen disability insurance policy. Renewability, Definition of Total Disability, The Residual Disability Rider and COLA. If you would like some additional information to help you understand what some of the language within the policy means during a claim

Warranties and Conditions
A peculiarity of marine insurance, and insurance law generally, is the use of the terms condition and warranty. In English law, a condition typically describes a part of the contract that is fundamental to the performance of that contract, and, if breached, breaches the contract as a whole. By contrast, a warranty is not fundamental to the performance of the contract and breach of a warranty will not lead to a breach of the contract. The meaning of these terms is reversed in insurance law. Thus, the Marine Insurance Act 1906 refers to implied warranties, one of the most important of which is that the vessel is seaworthy.
Specialist Policies
Various types of specialist policy exist, including:
New building risks: This covers the risk of damage to the hull whilst it is under construction.
Yacht Insurance: Insurance of pleasure craft is generally known as 'yacht insurance' and includes liability coverage. Smaller vessels, such as yachts and fishing vessels are typically underwritten on a 'binding authority' or 'line slip' basis.
War risks: Usual Hull insurance does not cover the risks of a vessel sailing into a war zone. A typical example is the risk to a tanker sailing in the Persian Gulf during the gulf War risks cover protects, at an additional premium, against the danger of loss in a war zone. The war risks areas are established by the London-based Joint War Committee, which has recently moved to include the Malacca straits as a war risks area due to privacy. If an attack is classified as a "riot" then it would be covered by war risk insurers
Increased Value (IV): Increased Value cover protects the ship owner against any difference between the insured value of the vessel and the market value of the vessel.
Overdue insurance: This is a form of insurance now largely obsolete due to advances in communications. It was an early form of reinsurance and was bought by an insurer when a ship was late at arriving at her destination port and there was a risk that she might have been lost (but, equally, might simply have been delayed). The overdue insurance of the Titanic was famously underwritten on the doorstep of Lloyd's.

Excess, Deductible, Retention, Co-Insurance, and Franchise
An Excess is the amount payable by the insured and is usually expressed as the first amount falling due, up to a ceiling, in the event of a loss. An excess may or may not be applied. It may be expressed in either monetary or percentage terms. An excess is typically used to discourage moral hazards and to remove small claims, which are disproportionately expensive to handle. The equivalent term to 'excess' in marine insurance is 'deductible' or 'retention'.
A co-insurance, which is typically applied in non-proportional treaty reinsurance, is an excess expressed as a proportion of a claim, e.g. 5%, and applied to the entirety of a claim.
A franchise is a deductible below which nothing is payable and beyond which the entire amount of the sum insured is payable. It is typically used in reinsurance arbitrage arrangements.
A co-insurance, which is typically applied in non-proportional treaty reinsurance, is an excess expressed as a proportion of a claim, e.g. 5%, and applied to the entirety of a claim.
A franchise is a deductible below which nothing is payable and beyond which the entire amount of the sum insured is payable. It is typically used in reinsurance arbitrage arrangements.
Average
The term 'Average' has two meanings:
(1) In marine insurance, in the case of a partial loss, or emergency repairs to the vessel, average may be declared. This covers situations, where, for example, a ship in a storm might have to jettison certain cargo to protect the ship and the remaining cargo. General average requires all parties concerned in the venture (Hull/Cargo/Freight/Bunkers) to contribute to compensate the losses caused to those whose cargo has been lost or damaged. 'Particular Average' is levied on a group of cargo owners and not all of the cargo owners.
(2) In the situation where an insured has under-insured, i.e. Insured an item for less than it is worth, average will apply to reduce the amount payable. There are different ways of calculating average, but generally the same proportion of under-insurance will be applied to any payout due.
An average adjuster is a marine claims specialist responsible for adjusting and providing the general average statement. He is usually appointed by the ship owner or insurer.

Actual Total Loss and Constructive Total Loss
These two terms are used to differentiate the degree of proof where a vessel or cargo has been lost.
An Actual Total Loss refers to the situation where the position is clear and a Constructive Total Loss refers to the situation where a loss is inferred. In practice, a Constructive Total Loss might also be used to describe a loss where the cost of repair is not economic; i.e. a 'write-off'.
The different terms refer to the difficulties of proving a loss where there might be no evidence of such a loss. In this respect, marine insurance differs from non-marine insurance, where the insured is required to prove his loss. Traditionally, in law, marine insurance was seen as an insurance of 'the adventure', with insurers having a stake and an interest in the vessel and/ or the cargo rather than, simply, an interest in the financial consequences of the subject-matter's survival.

Protection and indemnity
A marine policy typically covered only three-quarter of the insured's liabilities towards third parties. The typical liabilities arise in respect of collision with another ship, known as 'running down' (collision with a fixed object is an 'allision'), and wreck removal (a wreck may serve to block a harbor, for example).
In the 19th century, ship owners banded together in mutual underwriting clubs known as protection and indemnity clubs (P&I), to insure the remaining one-quarter liability amongst themselves. These Clubs are still in existence today and have become the model for other specialized and infomercial marine and non-marine mutual’s, for example in relation to oil pollution and nuclear risks.
Clubs work on the basis of agreeing to accept a ship-owner as a member and levying an initial 'call' (premium). With the fund accumulated, reinsurance will be purchased; however, if the loss experience is unfavorable one or more 'supplementary calls' may be made. Clubs also typically try to build up reserves, but this puts them at odds with their mutual status.
Because liability regimes vary throughout the world, insurers are usually careful to limit or exclude American Jones act liability.

Practice
The Marine Insurance Act includes, as a schedule, a standard policy (known as the 'SG form'), which parties were at liberty to use if they wished. Because each term in the policy had been tested through at least two centuries of judicial precedent, the policy was extremely thorough. However, it was also expressed in rather archaic terms. In 1991, the London market produced a new standard policy wording known as the MAR 91 form and using the Institute Clauses. The MAR form is simply a general statement of insurance; the Institute Clauses are used to set out the detail of the insurance cover. In practice, the policy document usually consists of the MAR form used as a cover, with the Clauses stapled to the inside. Typically each clause will be stamped, with the stamp overlapping both onto the inside cover and to other clauses; this practice is used to avoid the substitution or removal of clauses.
Because marine insurance is typically underwritten on a subscription basis, the MAR form begins: We, the Underwriters, agree to bind ourselves each for his own part and not one for another [...]. In legal terms, liability under the policy is several and not joint; i.e. The underwriters are all liable together, but only for their share or proportion of the risk. If one underwriter should default, the remainder is not liable to pick his share of the claim.

Origins of Formal Marine Insurance..
Origins of Formal Marine InsuranceThe modern origins of marine insurance law were in the law merchant, with the establishment in England in 1601 of a specialized chamber of assurance separate from the other Courts. Lord mans field lord peace justice in the mid-eighteenth century, began the merging of law merchant and common law principles. The establishment of Lyoid’s of London, competitor insurance companies, a developing infrastructure of specialists (such as ship broker, admiratly lawyers, and bankers), and the growth of the British empire gave English law a prominence in this area which it largely maintains and forms the basis of almost all modern practice. The growth of the London insurance market led to the standardization of policies and judicial precedent further developed marine insurance law. In 1906 the Marine Insurance Act was passed which codified the previous common law; it is both an extremely thorough and concise piece of work.
Marine insurance act …. UK
Lax Moratoria. Professors Healy and Sharpe have described the relationship between the United Kingdom's Marine Insurance Act and the American law of marine insurance as follows: "While Congress has not restated the marine insurance law of the United States, the U.K. law of marine insurance was codified in 1906, when the Marine Insurance Act became law. Of course the Act does not apply of its own force in the United States, but U.S. and U.K. courts alike have recognized the desirability of uniformity in the law of marine insurance . . . . While some differences still exist, a considerable degree of uniformity has in fact been achieved, so that the Marine Insurance Act is not only a codification of U.K. law, but can be read as a reasonably close restatement of the still-decisional U.S. law of marine insurance.

insurance introduction
Insurance is a very old idea. As far back as 3000BC Chinese merchants spread their shipments among a number of different vessels so as to manage their risk of a loss. Lloyds, the insurance market, has been selling insurance in London since the 1600s, after a group of ship owners met in a coffee shop to discuss sharing the cost of dangerous voyages. Nowadays you can insure everything from your car to your body parts, from your legal expenses to the type of weather that you want on your holiday. But the idea behind insurance is simple. Insurance is taken out when you pay a set amount of money, known as a premium, to an insurance company that in return agrees to cover your costs if a certain pre-determined event occurs. The insurance company is, in effect, taking on your risk.
The finer details of your agreement, such as the exact nature of the risk and the amount that you are insuring against, are contained in what is called a policy document. This document is very important because it sets out in what circumstances your insurer will cover your costs. Needless to say, this often involves a lot of small print, which is why it is sometimes a good idea to get help with your purchase from an IFA or insurance broker. Talking to an independent expert is also essential to ensure you obtain the right insurance cover for you - many people have specialist requirements or circumstances that need a more bespoke policy.
What do I need to consider when buying insurance?
There are many different types, or classes, of insurance, including motorbike, health, travel, caravan, business, buildings and pet insurance. Bespoke policies are available to cover almost anything and can be arranged through your IFA or insurance broker. This factsheet concentrates in particular on home and contents and motor insurance, although many of the principles discussed will be relevant to other types of insurance.
Home and contents insurance
When insuring your home and its contents you must think about how much your assets are worth. Most people can easily cover their home and contents with a normal insurance policy. If you have higher value goods, such as antiques, art or jewellery, or expensive furniture and fittings, such as designer electrical goods, you may need to consider a mid-net worth or high-net worth policy. Not all insurers sell these policies, which means that you may have to buy them through an IFA or an insurance broker. There are a few questions you should ask when you buy your home and contents insurance.
- Do I own expensive single items? If so it is essential to have them named individually on a policy.
- Are my belongings covered when I take them out of the house?
- Will my home security meet my insurer's minimum requirements?
- Are external goods, such as my garden furniture and the contents of my shed, covered by my policy?
Payment Protection Insurance
Redundancy or incapacity that prevents us from working can strike any one of us at any time. And one of your first worries will be - how will I pay my bills? Payment insurance - or payment protection insurance to give it its full title - can be the solution to nip any worries in the bud before it happens.
It will provide you with a replacement income with which to pay the household bills, or specific cover for particular commitments like mortgage repayments or other borrowing, in the event of your being unable to work because of an accident, sickness or due to involuntary redundancy.
These will be in the form of monthly tax free payments.
So, I need to have a mortgage, a loan or credit card to qualify for payment insurance?
Not necessarily. Provided you have an income from regular employment, payment insurance can provide a replacement income in the event that you fall ill and are unable to work for a significant period of time - no mortgage or other borrowing commitment is required. Read

‘‘Trend is your friend’’ is a very popular saying in Wall Street since the inception of stock markets. However, whether this momentum trading strategy that is based on buying past winners and selling past losers is really profitable was controversial until recently. Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) were the first to comprehensively test the profitability of the momentum trading strategy based on the past 3-to 12-month performance. They document that momentum strategies implemented in the U.S. market from 1965 to 1989 generated a positive profit of about one percent per month over 3-to 12-month holding periods. In their recent follow-up study, Jegadeesh and Titman (2001) find that momentum strategies continued to be profitable after 1990 with past winners outperforming past losers by about the same magnitude as in the earlier period.

Workers compensation is a kind of insurance that provides the employees compensation for medical care in case of injury in the course of employment. Of course all that comes to the employees for a rather high price, for mandatory relinquishment of their rights to sue their employer for the tort of negligence. This way, the employees get a guaranteed but limited coverage for any injury that happens while working for their employer. Workers compensation laws vary from one state to another. Like everything, workers compensation does have its ups and downs as well.
According to the workers compensation plan, weekly payments substituting the salary in case an employee has been injured while at work and compensations for the expenditure met by the employee for the hospital expenses are awarded. As we can see, workers compensation acts exactly like a disability insurance policy and a health insurance policy at the same time.

Geico Settlement Ages
My coverage with Geico Insurance began in 1985 after returning from a tour in Germany with the US Army. My next European tour began in 1988, so there was a lapse in insurance while stationed overseas (in a market they don't cover as I understand). When I returned stateside in 1992, I resumed my coverage. I made no insurance claims until Dec 2005 for a star in my windshield and Feb 2006 for an automobile accident. After more than 15 years of loyal patronage, I am having serious trouble getting Geico to pay a claim for an accident covered under my policy 06192101.
On February 14, 2006 I was rear ended by an uninsured motorist. I called Geico from the accident scene and answered their questions and thought the case would be settled promptly. My policy had uninsured motorist protection; and Geico said they would settle quickly. They needed my bank information, which I supplied over the phone the day of the accident.
They contacted my bank, but only paid off one of the two outstanding loans. Unfortunately, my bank made a clerical error and released the title to Geico. I've made three calls to Geico about the rest of the payoff (4599.97) so that I can pay off the second loan and get a new car. The first call was April 10th, 2006. They said they had mailed a check to me on March 16th. I told them I hadn't received the check and asked them to resend it. They said they would. On April 20th, I received a letter from Geico dated April 19th saying that because it takes time to collect the money from the uninsured motorist, it may take months for them to send me a check.
I called Geico again on April 21, 2006 asking them why I hadn't received a check yet. I asked them if I had uninsured motorist on my policy. They said yes. I asked them why I got a letter. They said they didn't know but they had re-issued the check on April 18th. They asked me to verify my mailing address. I promptly did so.
Finding a therapist or counselor can be a pretty anxiety-provoking idea
Clarity of vision.
Clarity of vision.
In actuality, the best metaphor (in my opinion) is that of going to the optometrist. You go because you don't seem to be seeing clearly and you seem to be missing a lot of things and bumping into doorways and such more than you should. You have to go more times at first than you would the optometrist, but if all goes well you don't have to go back every year. If all goes well, your vision gets clearer and clearer as the years go by -- long after you stopped seeing the Doc. And -- you don't have to wear glasses or worry about contacts.Weak-mindedness?
I hear a lot of people telling me that they feel it is weak to go to a therapist. Why don't I hear that it's weak to go get checked for glasses? The difference is there is a lot of negative stigma associated with "being mental." (There may be a joke there somewhere -- stigma? stigmatism?) A person needs to decide what is really the weaker -- being too afraid to get help when you need it, or getting help when you need it?
You are not necessarily stuck with your insurance company's provider list.
Many providers find that there are so many differences in the billing procedures and the service authorization procedures that they can't keep all the rules straight if they work with more than six or seven insurance companies. Some providers find that some of the insurance companies are too much of a pain in the neck to be on their provider list. This doesn't mean, however, that the insurance company won't make a deal with a particular therapist or that a particular therapist won't make a deal with a particular insurance company if someone specifically requests that an arrangement be made. If you hear someone is good and you want to see them, there is usually something that can be worked out. You call your insurance provider and tell them you want to see a particular therapist and see if they will make the arrangements.
If you think it will cost you money
to go to the therapist of your choice or if you don't even have insurance coverage for mental health issues, it is easy to use this as an excuse for avoiding dealing withn your problems. This can be a little like knowing you have cancer but telling yourself it might cost to much to treat it. It is, of course, your call. Maybe things will clear up by themselves. On the other hand, there is no way to put a dollar value on feeling safe, contented, happy and/or ridding yourself of intense anger, fear or sadness. You don't know what it will cost unless you ask about prices and terms. Most therapists will work out a reasonable payment plan -- professionals who are in the business of helping people solve their problems don't usually want to give them more problems.
best ways to pick
Possibly the best way to pick a therapist (or any kind of doctor) is to ask friends and colleagues that you trust for recommendations. Once you get a name or two of therapists who are considered very good, you then go to your insurance company and see if the therapist is on their list. If not, call the therapist and the insurance company and ask if they could work out a deal so you can see the particular therapist and be covered by your particular insurance. Most insurance companies that are worth a hoot will be willing to help you get to the health-care provider of your choice. It's simply good business. If your insurance company isn't willing to try, ask them why. Most therapists will be happy to work with a particular insurance company to take care of the needs of someone who wants to see them in particular. The therapist may find the insurance company's procedures to be too painful to be worth getting regular referrals from it, but most therapists like to work with people being referred by friends and colleagues and most will bend over backwards to get you in. It's simply good business for the therapist, too. It's easier for the therapist to be successful and it's poor community advertising and politics to refuse to work out an arrangement so someone can be seen.
And if all else fails in trying to get an arrangement going so you can see a particular provider and be covered by your insurance, contact the provider and see if there is a payment plan that can be arranged. Strongly consider the relative potential value of seeing someone that you hear is really good -- but having to pay $25- $100 or so monthly over many months -- as compared to seeing someone that nobody recommends except your insurance company.

"it didn't work"
Finding a therapist is like finding a hair stylist or car mechanic -- if you find one that seems worthless, you don't just give up -- you find another. I hear people say, "I tried going to counseling but it didn't work," quite frequently. Somebody needs counseling -- psychotherapy -- and tries and hates it and quits. The fact is, finding a therapist you can work with is sometimes tough and can take a few trials and errors before you get it right. Finding a match with a therapist is very much like finding a match with a hair stylist or mechanic. Some do several kinds of thing really well and are very poor at others. If you go to a hair stylist and come home looking like a poodle, or come home feeling and looking like your hair didn't get cut at all, you don't give up having your hair cut ever again (well, anyway you don't have to). Clearly, you may decide it's wise not to keep going back to that stylist.
If you complain to your hair stylist that you look like a poodle, you don't let the stylist tell you that it's your hair's fault unless you're pretty sure that's possible. You try another stylist. IF you have two or three or more hair stylists tell you it's your hair, THEN ask what can be done about it because maybe it is your hair that's causing the problem. The same goes for therapists.

individual differences
1atenTherapists are all different and come in all shapes and sizes. Therapists/counselors are basically human critters like everybody else. Like other people, they sometimes make mistakes, give off attitude, have weird interpersonal mannerisms or can at times just seem full of crap. Like other people, some are smarter than others and some are smarter at one set of things than they are about another. Some basic things sort of set them apart from other people in general. One is that they're very intelligent when it comes to book reading and taking tests -- you can't get into graduate school to be a shrink unless you are very brainy about the tasks involved in going to school. They are also usually a little or a lot obsessive-compulsive and often don't have as much interest in a social life as other folks do. These are the qualities required to get through years and year and years of studying with no summers off, while you work two or three part time jobs teaching or doing some sort of research. (Think about it. Who but somebody a little bit obsessive-compulsive would say no to countless fun times with friends so they could study for several years for a piece of paper to hang on their wall? Psychologists, for example, go to regular college for 4-5 years and then go to grad school for 5-8 more. Then after a year or two of being closely supervised they can be a licensed shrink.
"nuts"
So often shrinks seem sort of "nuts" themselves. Yes, and this can be the case for a few different reasons. First off, many people who devote their life to studying and fixing psychological and emotional problems either had some struggles themselves (and possible still have some) or they grew up around people with screws loose and it bothered them so much that they decided they wanted to study why screws come loose and what to do about it. That's why they wanted to be a healer rather than physicist, a baker, a marine biologist or steel worker. The graduate programs do try to weed out the really obviously nutty ones, but you can't get into grad school or get through grad school without being a little off (obsessively-compulsively at least) as described above. Most counselor-types have tightened up their screws pretty well by the time they open up business. They have a lot to offer in the way of both experience and expertise. Some are at the very least good technicians and can help many people with most problems. Some... well, you know, there's a bad apple in most barrels of apples.
Another reason so many therapist types seem a little "nuts" is because they don't seem to conform to community standards of "normal behavior." This is because when you work day-in and day-out with people in agony because they're pounding their heads against brick walls made up of impractical "shoulds" and impossible "coulds," it gives you a distaste for doing things just because society and community tell you to. Also, when you routinely work with people in or just out of pain and terror, and regularly hear life stories of torture and trauma, it gives you a very different perspective on what's important to worry about in life. Some of the finest psychological minds I've known were very "unencumbered" by worries about social proprieties.

credentials
Anybody can get some form of credentials (if they don't care what they mean). The issue is usually where the credentials come from and what the credentials really mean. I get emails every few months offering PhD's in almost anything by just applying and paying a fee. Generally speaking, credentials should be from a nationally recognized, respected organization or from a regionally accredited school of higher learning. The easiest credential to look for and check is a license. States license professionals and this assures you that you can count on at least a minimum level of education and training. These days you can also do internet searches about particular credentials and often find out just what those credentials mean.
Be cautious of (but if you have to consider) anyone with skimpy credentials -- and stay away from anyone with flaky credentials. Sometimes, especially in rural areas, choices are few and far between. Sometimes someone with a "lesser degree" (e.g., MA rather than MD or PhD) can provide really excellent services. A higher degree usually means they jumped through more hoops, read more books, wrote more papers, got more supervised training, but there are many good practitioners that simply didn't feel like devoting the extra several years for the extra prestige of a higher degree. That attitude doesn't necessarily correlate with ability as a helper and healer.

who's responsibility is it to make therapy effective?
who's responsibility is it to make therapy effective?
There is a joke about how many psychologists it takes to change a light bulb. The punchline/answer is that it only takes one but the lightbulb has to want to change. Though it may be true that in some cases the bulb must at least want to change for therapy to be effective, many people think that the lightbulb needs to know what to change, how to change and how to make therapy effective. Many therapist has found it a tempting option to blame his or her lightbulb-patient for a lack of progress in therapy. Many a lightbulb has exited a therapy session feeling like a failure for not knowing how to make change happen.
If this seems to happen to you, be forgiving and explain to your therapist that you were hoping for more help than that. Explain that you are one of those lightbulbs who needs his or her therapist to take charge of making things work in the therapy session. Explain that you read an online article where it was explained that it is the therapist's job to make you comfortable enough to talk about what you need to talk about. Explain that you were hoping that your new therapist would be able to take responsibility for figuring out what and how you need to change.
Be forgiving and patient and if you do not get the answers you need, perhaps you could consider checking out a different therapist. It is natural for the lightbulb to fear changing - to not be 100% behind the idea of change. (See the articles on this website about why many lightbulbs normally have fears and resistance to change, no matter how burned out they are.)

"travel"
Some times the resources you need are not near at hand When you live in a smallish town and there are no nearby resources, it may be important to travel. This is not the worst thing in the world. Many people get into their thoughts both on the way to counseling and on the way back, which may actually be very advantageous. It is not optimal to have life distracting you fully immediately before and immediately after a counseling session. There is a lot of psychological "disgeting" that can be missed when this happens. Travelling an hour and a half before and after a session might just be optimal. It is mostly important that you not be dwelling on deeply depressing things on the way home and it is a nightmare to be locked in a car, fighting with someone, for an hour and a half drive. Avoid those two situations and a long drive to and from counseling can be very therapeutic.
