Psychotherapy training for psychiatrists: UK and global perspectives
Abstract
Psychotherapy training for psychiatrists has often been honoured more in the breach than the observance. While most training schemes pay lip service to psychotherapy, few provide the comprehensive training to which national and international bodies aspire. Recent educational changes, especially the move from course completion to competency evaluation, and the implementation of 'requirements' as opposed to 'recommendations', provide an opportunity for psychotherapy to become more central to psychiatric training. Based on international systematic enquiry and specific experience in the UK, this article makes a number of theoretical and practical suggestions: (a) mentalization as a relevant indicator of psychological mindedness for trainees and ways in which it might be measured (b) the importance of identifying the small number of trainees at risk for dangerous practice and remedial measures (c) the importance of local and national leadership if change is to be initiated and followed through over a number of years (d) ways in which the paradox of underdevelopment of psychotherapy training can be overcome via the reinforcement of existing expertise and values as well as the use of visiting 'experts' and modern IT aids.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
