This year in a school of psychiatry near you: psychotherapy training within the new curriculum

Susan Mizen is an analytical psychologist (Jungian analyst) trained at the Society of Analytical Psychology. She is a consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy currently responsible for running the psychotherapy service in Exeter (Psychotherapy Department, Wonford House Hospital, Dryden Road, Exeter EX2 5AF, UK. Email: Susan.Mizen{at}Devonptnrs.nhs.uk) and previously the psychotherapy department at Charing Cross Hospital, London.

This article outlines the changes to psychotherapy training for psychiatrists proposed in the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ new specialist training curriculum. There is some debate about whether this curriculum should be taken up in its present form because of the limitation of resources to implement it. I describe the effect of taking the College at its word that psychotherapy training should be mandatory and the improvement this has already brought about in psychotherapy training on the Exeter and South Devon training rotations. I also discuss what will be required to implement the new requirements.
