Venue:Rewley House, Wellington Square, University of Oxford, Oxford

Duration:1 day
Extra Info:What has happened to long-term and open-ended psychotherapy & counselling? It would appear that in the UK, as with most other countries, the provision of long-term and open-ended talking therapies in the public services is disappearing. At this conference we wish to explore whether this demise of public service long-term and open-ended therapies is inevitable. A related question is the effect on the public’s access and attitudes to private psychotherapy and counselling.

At this conference, we will first examine users’ perspectives and recent work carried out in the UK on the state of long-term and open-ended talking therapies. We will then hear speakers from Germany and Sweden where research evidence has convinced governments to sustain such services.

Through both our presentations of international research and our call for papers we wish to consider whether the time is now right to reappraise what is happening in the UK and what research can now be carried out to evaluate the public provision of long-term and open-ended talking therapies.
