Also, don't forget the input of doctors into the formation of BPS (see <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5cLaT3gdm9NdlVBYi1PR1dZMkE/edit" rel="nofollow">article</a>).DBDoublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140020984190294123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18614557.post-54848149612215207202012-12-22T16:50:53.687+00:002012-12-22T16:50:53.687+00:00Hi Duncan,
I absolutely agree.
I have been known ...Hi Duncan,<br /><br />I absolutely agree.<br />I have been known for arguing that clinical psychologists should embrace the rise of manualised evidence-based therapies such as CBT, delivered within new service-delivery models such as IAPT (that is, leading psychosocial teams, rather than merely being one-to-one therapists), should lead clinical teams, coordinating other professionals' work (and hence bearing a 'management' tag) and - yes - taking Mental Health Act responsibilities.<br />I don't think the problem is that we - clinical psychologists - aren't prepared to take responsibility, it's that the system denies this.<br />The most pertinent example?<br />Just last week, we were told that people ('patients') would now get 'parity' by being able to choose their consultant psychiatrist. Well... how about choosing not to be labeled, given toxic medication and disempowered.<br />So... yes, absolutely, clinical psychologists need to take responsibility. And I assure you we will. But we need the system to change.<br /><br />PeterPeter Kindermannoreply@blogger.com
