This book, the second of the two volumes, continues to chart the
ways in which psychoanalytic psychotherapy has been implemented,
developed and researched within the public sectors of six different
countries around the world. It discusses psychoanalytic
practitioners locally have responded to the challenge of
evidence-based practice. For each country the authors describe: •
How people can access talking therapies as part of the national
healthcare system, including a brief history of how this system has
developed and the place of psychoanalytic psychotherapy
inside/outside of this system historically • How clinicians train
and qualify as a psychoanalytic practitioner, and demographic
profiles of their communities of psychoanalytic practice • How
evidence-based practice has impacted the mental health system and,
in particular, access to and provision of talking therapies e.g.
through the development and implementation of treatment guidelines
• How outcome monitoring and reporting of access, waiting times
and recovery rates are used in the commissioning and provision of
psychological therapies • What is needed to secure a viable
future for psychoanalytic psychotherapy The book concludes with a
comprehensive review of changes in public sector psychoanalytic
psychotherapy across Europe over the last thirty years and will be
of great interest to all practicing psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists. The chapters in these volumes were
originally published as a special issue of Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy.

2020 marked the one-hundredth anniversary of the first patient
being seen at the world-renowned Tavistock Clinic. Over the
following year, the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust
marked this centenary with a series of events celebrating its
history and exploring issues of identity, relationships and
society. This book is a collection of essays from these
celebrations, which describe the historical and contemporary work
of various departments and services, and consider how to draw on
this heritage to provide valuable responses to current and future
challenges. The twelve chapters describe the organisation's
thinking, educational and clinical work with children, young people
and their parents, adults, organisations and wider society,
documenting the influence of clinicians such as Balint, Bick,
Bowlby, Garland, Glover, Malan and Pailthorpe. The authors outline
the development of services for people who have experienced trauma,
neurodiversity, complex and enduring mental health problems, and
paraphilias or forensic behaviours. They address issues such as
gender identity, the impact of couple relationship difficulties on
parenting, systemic racism within the psychotherapeutic professions
and the societal health inequalities revealed by COVID-19. The book
concludes with a chapter exploring leadership and followership in
organisations and how this can be applied to work in the NHS. This
book was originally published as two special issues of
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
Terrorism is no longer woven into the backdrop of our daily lives,
but rather it has been pushed to centre stage - an ongoing tragedy
in which comprehension of the perpetrators' motivations is eclipsed
by the impact of horror and devastation on its victims and wider
society. Attempting to make sense of these atrocities and their
antecedents, a body of literature has accumulated since 9/11 which
offers a psychoanalytic perspective on terrorism. This research
provides a reflective space within which the unconscious
motivations, primitive conflicts, fantasies and impulses that
underpin the extreme mindsets and violent actions of the
individuals and groups involved may be explored, offering insights
complementary to those of different disciplines - sociological,
political, cultural and other. This book brings together
contemporary psychoanalytic writers and practitioners involved in
the study of radicalisation, fundamentalism and terrorism. Some of
the authors have worked with terrorists, thus grounding their
reflections and insights in direct clinical contact with these
individuals. Understanding the motivations of the perpetrators
includes elucidation of the wider group dynamics of minority
populations, where the perpetuation of violence that is seen as
terrorism may be viewed by its perpetrators as a justifiable
response to collective experiences of subjugation, humiliation and
injustice suffered over generations. Understanding such
perspectives is not colluding with the aggressors, but rather it
may contribute to interventions at both individual and global
levels that attempt to break the deadly cycle of violence. This
book was originally published as two special issues of
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

Originally published as a special issue of Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy, this collection was timed to coincide with the
publication of the new NICE guideline for the treatment of
depression, which will shape the context of NHS talking therapy
services for the next decade. In 2005, Professor Lord Layard
demonstrated for the first time that mental health should matter to
the UK Treasury. Layard showed that the cost of untreated
depression was huge due to welfare spending on invalidity benefits,
and that this was a social problem rising across the OECD, but more
so in the UK. NICE had already published a clinical guideline
recommending several talking therapies that were cost-effective.
Why could no one still get them? In 2007, under New Labour, the
world's first universal free-at-the-point-of-need service was
launched to remedy this: IAPT Improving Access to Psychological
Therapies. Thus began a race against depression, predicted by the
World Health Organisation to become the leading cause of disability
worldwide by 2020. But on the eve of NICE's new guideline for
depression, due in 2021, it is now clear that across large parts of
the UK we are set to lose this race. Badly. Why? What went wrong?
Clarke, Cundy and Yakeley have brought together a group of
researchers and experts in this collection who address some of the
fundamental flaws in the policy design for IAPT. By drawing
attention to neglected social and interpersonal origins of
depression, pointing us towards more effective approaches, and
seeking to pinpoint some of the gaps in thinking during IAPT's
first decade, this book offers alternative answers to what still
remains Britain's biggest social problem.
