"Standards and Guidelines for the Psychotherapies" provides a
comprehensive overview of the art and science of psychotherapy and
a set of practice guidelines for psychiatrists. The main aim is to
improve standards and practices, and to initiate discussion.
This book was developed from a report by the Joint Task Force on
Standards and Guidelines for Medical (Psychiatric) Psychotherapy,
which was established by the Ontario Psychiatric Association and
Ontario Medical Association (Section of Psychiatry). The report was
prepared in response to four phenomena emerging in recent
psychotherapy: 1) The realization that there were no written
guidelines or standards for the practice of medical psychotherapy;
2) the changing forces that now influence health policy and
funding, both in U.S. and Canada; 3) The potential for arbitrary
deinsurance of some procedures in the absence of agreed upon
standards, and without regard to the evidence for the effectiveness
of psychiatric procedures; and 4) Growing concern regarding the
problem of sexual abuse of patients by physicians.
This is an excellent reference book for medical professionals
practicing in the field of psychotherapy, and will prove to be a
valuable resource in the ongoing practice and development of
psychotherapy.
