Extract

Too few psychiatrists in Britain have received an adequate training in psychotherapy, and the teaching of human personality growth and development is often woefully inadequate at both undergratuate and postgraduate levels—a state of affairs sometimes justified on the basis that existing knowledge has not been scientifically validated. For some psychiatrists their only training in communication with their patients is in clinical interviewing and their only understanding of their patients emotional life is derived from a study of gross psychopathology.
