Statutory Registration of Psychotherapists

The British Psychoanalytic Council has issued a public position statement on statutory regulation and a range of other issues related to Government policy and initiatives, e.g. National Occupational Standards, IAPT, NICE guidelines, New Ways of Working.

It has been occasioned, in part, by recent media coverage of the views of some psychotherapists, including some psychoanalytic psychotherapists, on some of these issues. The British Psychoanalytic Council is engaging with these policies and initiatives actively and positively, and wishes to differentiate its position from those therapists who seem to consider this to be undesirable.

This position statement is available on the BPC website, at
