This new website is intended to be a safe-harbour for cbt clinicians – many will be the ‘wounded healers’ described below. Hopefully, it will help clinicians chart new directions and empower them to advocate change, not least via the Discussion Forum and the careful monitoring of service provision.
Hospitality’ has to begin with welcoming clients, as we would a friend/relative in difficulty. MP’s and GP’s insist on face to face contact with those whom they serve in the first instance, but curiously those with mental health difficulties are expected to book a telephone assessment with the least qualified mental health clinician, is this a perpetuation of stigma? Head over to the forum and have your say.
Welcome to the website, invite others
