See editorial, pp. 124-125, this issue.

AIMS AND METHOD

A telephone questionnaire to assess psychotherapy training in the 12 psychiatric training schemes in South-West England was conducted in April 1999. The findings were compared with the 1993 guidelines recommended by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

RESULTS

Only one scheme was achieving the standards set by the College guidelines. The majority of trainees in this region were not receiving adequate psychotherapy training.

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

Psychotherapy training for psychiatric trainees needs urgent review in South-West England.
