Big push to train British therapists in CBT
Britain's National Health Service has a major initiative under way to train therapists in CBT. The goal is to make CBT more widely available given it's extensive empirical support. The funding is £306 million over three years in order to train and employ 3,600 new therapists.
If you would like to find out more about what the British have in mind, http://www.nice.org.uk/usingguidance...ervice/cbt.jsp might be a good starting place. |
