The Uffculme Clinic opened 25 years ago as an early psychiatric treatment and research centre and has for the past 15 years functioned as a regional centre for psychotherapy in the West Midlands. Day and in-patients participate in a psychotherapeutic regime which includes a daily analytic psychotherapy group, relaxation therapy, projective art, psychodrama and more traditional occupational and recreational therapies. A weekly community meeting has recently been extended to give staff and patients a large group experience. Patients in intensive treatment are severely affected by neurotic or personality difficulties and are only admitted if they are incapable of functioning at work or at home.
