Psychotherapy training experience in an inner-city psychiatry rotation

M. Podlejska-Eyres, Specialist Registrar in Psychotherapy

Tavistock Clinic, 120 Belsize Lane, London NW3 5BA

J. Stern, Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy

St. Marks Hospital, Harrow

AIMS AND METHOD

A postal questionnaire was circulated to all psychiatrists who had completed their basic specialist training on the Royal London Hospital training scheme within the last 7.5 years. The aim of the questionnaire was to explore their psychotherapy experience while on the rotation.

RESULTS

The response rate was 95%. The respondents had a broad experience of both didactic and case work that they valued highly. Over half of them wished for an even greater exposure to psychotherapy during their basic training.

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

The results of our survey suggest that with the dedication of both the trainees and trainers, it is possible to have a comprehensive psychotherapy experience while working on a busy inner-city rotation.
