It seems that many group analysts work in the NHS and so are affected significantly by decisions to not provide psychotherapy. Maybe it is the same for practitioners of other forms of psychotherapy in the NHS too. I hope this begins a dialogue with other providers of psychotherapy training with maybe an end point of collectively lobbying the Dept. of Health to put pressure on NHS Trusts to fulfill their obligation to provide a range of psychotherapeutic treatments. Maybe the UKCP and BACP already have a strategy for this that I am unaware of.
