The aim of the book is to introduce the case for the management of
psychological therapy services in the NHS as a result of the recent
and very significant changes in primary care commissioning and
mental health strategy. The historical context of the book is the
development of counseling provision within the NHS and the
introduction of Primary Care Organisations as a result of the U.K.
government's NHS plan (2000) together with the National Service
Framework for Mental Health (1999). The book is intended to be
practical and accessible and is written in short easy-to- access
sections. The chapters contain practical guidance and real
information drawn from the authors' considerable experience in NHS
counseling. The introductory and final chapters put the need for a
managed service model of psychological therapy provision in the
context of today's NHS from the perspective of clinical governance
and professional quality standards and development. With the
background of an ever-changing NHS, there is also a look to the
future direction of the provision of psychological therapy in the
shape of integrated managed teams in primary care and parallel
professions. This volume will be relevant not just to NHS managers
and practitioners, but also to other counseling organizations and
clinicians, since many of the structural and clinical issues raised
will be applicable in a wider context.
