Information, news and debate about psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapies
In some areas psychoanalytic psychotherapy is available within the NHS. There may be a waiting period of six months or more before it can be offered and it may be available for only a limited period of time - general practitioners should be able to advise about this.
Outside the Health Service there are psychoanalytic psychotherapists for adults, children and adolescents in many areas of the country. The BPC Register lists the names and geographical location of Psychoanalysts, Analytical Psychologists, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists and Child Psychotherapists, each of whose training is recognised by the BPC. In addition, nearly all the Member Institutions of the BPC offer consultation, assessment and referral services for people seeking to begin psychoanalytic psychotherapy, through their respective clinical services, and will try to place people for whom such therapy is deemed suitable with an appropriately qualified practitioner (see Finding a Therapist).
