From: @NSUNnews – Call out for #MentalHealth Service Users who have missed out on #NHS therapy. #ukmh

From NSUN: BBC Radio 4′s You and Yours programme is looking for people who have missed out on NHS therapy. The programme makers are examining whether the expansion of talking therapy in the NHS, through Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) with its emphasis on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been bought at the expense of other therapy services. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the diversity of therapies being offered in the NHS is shrinking dramatically. An ideal case study might be someone who knows they need psychodynamic or psychoanalytical psychotherapy, having had an assessment, but have found that what they need is not available any more on the NHS. The essential thing is that the case study would need to be someone who knows they need a talking therapy which they have found is no longer available on the NHS. Please contact Edward.davie@nsun.org.uk or call 0207 820 89892 if you can help Filed under: Mental Health, The News & Policies.
