Extract

This enquiry was prompted by a discussion on training in psychotherapy which took place at the Troon Conference on the Teaching of Psychiatry (Ingram, 1963). We felt that more precise information was required about what is meant by the term psychotherapy, which methods are in use and what opinions are held by psychotherapists in training. This information could be of value in assessing the workload of psychiatrists and in deciding what training might be given to psychiatrists and medical students. It was therefore decided to seek the opinions of Scottish psychiatrists on some aspects of their current practice in psychotherapy.
