3900 new therapists BBC interview
"Steve Freeman" 10:51 11/10/2007
Hi Tony,
I was told today that there was a heated exchange between two people in a BBC radio interview yesterday late afternoon. One comment quoted to me was 'if you keep talking to people about problems what do you get? Problems'. I've tried to find it on the Listen Again section but had no luck as yet.

All the best,

Steve

Steve,

I was driving into Birmingham when I first heard the item which led to my original post - it was on Eddie Mair's pm show on Radio 4, followed by a mention on the six o'clock news same station. The 'debate' was on PM, as I recall.

I just find it interesting that when some folk discuss therapies the
language used is "the chemotherpay was not successful" but when CBT
doesn't work, the language implies the patient failed the therapy not
that the therapist was not asking the right questions!

What about the other 50% who CBT doesn't 'do it for them', well not
exactly 50% because of the stringent inclusion criteria (reading age,
language, motivation, concentration), so far more than 50% of folk who
need to talk to someone about their goals and find ways of getting there!

I think the pilot schemes like the one in Newham didn't just use CBT,
they worked collectively looking at social stressors, housing,
employment, family support, quite goal focused and pragmatic, how much
of the success of the pilot was contributed by the practical support and
how much on the 'challenging dysfunctional thinking'?
