why psychiatrists do not practise psychotherapy

sad world, science Add comments

… although it works?

This was the title of an investigation by Plakun (former chair of APA’s Committee on Psychotherapy by Psychiatrists and director of admissions and professional relations at the Austen Riggs Center) and West (policy research director for the American Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education (APIRE)).

The conclusion: “There is a lost generation that was trained at the point of the deepest commitment to biological reductionism. That’s part of the reason why the Committee on Psychotherapy by Psychiatrists was originally formed. There was a recognition…that psychotherapy was in danger of being a skill lost in the practicing of psychiatrists and the training of residents.”

Here is a 5 minutes Youtube video in which Plakun explains their findings.
