The Royal College of Psychiatrists classifies group psychotherapy as required experience for psychotherapy training as part of general psychiatric training (Grant et al, 1993). This is defined as group experience in in-patient and/or out-patient settings, with an experienced co-therapist and/or supervision. Previous surveys estimate that the percentage of trainees gaining such experience ranges from only 9% (Arnott et al, 1993) to 58% (Hwang & Drummond, 1996). The limited duration of psychiatric training does not allow experience in all types of psychotherapy and trainees must therefore be selective in respect to their own training, depending on what is available.

The Future

The Royal College of Psychiatrists has stressed that psychotherapy skills are seen as a core element of psychiatric practice. To formalise this a new set of guidelines for psychotherapy training as part of general professional psychiatric training was published in November 1993. Concerns have been expressed over the implementation of previous guidelines from 1986. We have surveyed the psychotherapy training experience in our area and have worked with the psychotherapy department to address the findings. The future of training in the psychotherapies and implementation of the most recent guidelines are considered.

The Core

SummaryThis paper outlines recent revisions to the psychotherapy elements of the core psychiatric training curriculum of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The reasons why psychotherapy training is important as part of psychiatry training are developed and objections to the inclusion of this element are countered. The paper sets out the reasoning that led to the revisions in the training required and discusses the obstacles to the implementation of good-quality training in this area and suggests ways in which they can be overcome.

At a national conference in 1985, the Royal College guidelines for post-graduate training in psychiatry in Canada were reviewed. The topics considered included geriatrics, consultation-liaison, chronic care, out-patient, and psychotherapy training, as well as pre-licensure requirements and examinations. The recommendations will be used by the Royal College in reformulating its requirements for pychiatric residency programs.

Minimum Requirements

The question has been posed—is an examination necessary to admit to the membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists? The College represents the views of psychiatrists, maintains the standards of the profession, regulates and monitors practise and accepts a broad overall responsibility for education. It should admit to its membership those who practice as psychiatrists. Who then are the psychiatrists? Should the membership be open to anyone who makes such a claim or should it be linked with appointment to specific jobs as a psychiatrist at a level yet to be determined? What of private practitioners, interested GPs? Surely anyone who wants to be a psychiatrist, to paraphrase Sam Goldwyn, ought to have his head examined by his peers to establish that his claim to be a psychiatrist is acceptable. It is the College which should regulate entry into the profession of psychiatry, not the National Health Service, an employing authority, or even the universities. Some membership entrance conditions are needed which lay down minimum requirements for becoming a psychiatrist and it is important to exclude or reject, in my view, before higher psychiatric training commences.

Training Schemes

Many psychiatric training schemes hold induction days for their new junior doctors. This practice has now become a College recommendation and has frequently been a mandatory requirement for the approval of training schemes by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (Sims, 1990). Such days often concentrate on orientating the new trainee, looking in particular at facilities rather than the development of skills.
