Abstract
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.
Highlights
The Uflculme Clinic was chosen as the first centre to run a Joint Board of Clinical Nursing Studies' course on psycho therapy
The first group of six nurses has just completed the course with gratifying results
It is encouraging to see the high calibre of applicants for such courses and trainees have been notably enthusiastic about their psychothérapeuterole
Summary
Each trainee is therapist to an out-patient group and undertakes individual psycho therapy with a small number of specially selected out patients. He sees new out-patients for assessment and participates in brief and supportive psychotherapies and conjoint marital work. Senior registrars unable or unwilling to attend Uffculme full-time are encouraged to take part in a two-year multidisciplinary course in psychotherapy. A personal analytic experience is not regarded as essential, but trainees who see this as important are allowed time off for personal therapy at their own expense
