Extract

This memorandum is concerned with manpower needs for psychotherapy. Discussion will be principally concerned with the consultant grade and its associated career structure, but reference will be made to other sources of psychotherapeutic manpower.

Its recommendations should be regarded as supplementing those in the College’s previous memorandum, submitted to the Central Manpower Committee in 1973, on the level of medical staffing needed to achieve acceptable standards of psychiatric care for ‘mental illness’ only.
