Exposure to and engagement in psychotherapeutic practice is central to person-centred compassionate good medical care and essential for psychiatric practice within the bio-psycho-social model and NICE guidance for the treatment of mental health problems and burn-out prevention.
This webinar discusses the results of a survey carried out to capture the views of our members about their experiences in everyday clinical practice and the opportunities available to employ and develop their psychotherapeutic knowledge and skills.
The desired outcome is reconnecting psychiatry to the bio-psycho-social model. In the long term, the hope is to deepen training, research and practice of psychotherapeutic and relational models within psychiatry. This is essential for future-proofing psychiatry, improving patient outcomes and retaining psychiatry by enhancing the meaningful aspects of their roles.
