Abstract

Ninety-six out of 137 consultant psychiatrists working for the majority of their time in the London area outside academic units returned questionnaires concerning attitudes to their work. Analysis of the 88 fully completed questionnaires suggested the existence of four relatively discrete but overlapping patterns of psychiatric practice in the Regions concerned, of which two largely excluded individual psychotherapy. These findings are discussed in relation to the education in psychotherapy of trainee psychiatrists working in mental hospitals.
