Re: Difficult Professional Relationship...
Hi I agree that asking for the report now may well be an attempt by the psychiatrist to develop a case for viewing the patient in a way that you might not agree with, and as such potentially to win some kind of perceived argument. However challenging the request is also potentially a landmine waitin...

Re: Difficult dynamics in the workplace
Hi I know its not what you want to hear, but this is a toxic environment that has been here long before you and it's not going to change easily. Remember the myth of the hero innovator. The simple truth is that the culture of the organisation comes from the top, and there can be only one culture. Th...

Re: Case studies for HCPC
Hi, Sounds about right, although would probably depend on the model you are using. My suggestions would be: Service context Reason for referral Assessment summary - Presenting problems/symptoms - Relevant History - Results of psychometrics/testing Formulation/case conceptualization Intervention plan...

Re: breaching confidentiality
Yes this falls under Section 11 of the Children's Act - you have a legal duty to do so. I tend to frame it in this way to highlight that it is not a personal choice but a legal obligation as a healthcare professional Hopefully in your preamble about confidentiality when you first met the person, you...

Re: Transactional analysis
The other classic is "Im okay, Youre okay" by Thomas Harris.
There are a lot of parallels with aspects of Schema Focused Therapy as well.

Re: False allegations and therapy
Some thoughts: - are you able to talk with the person about the allegation being found to be untrue? - do they acknowledge this subsequently, are they able to think about how they came to make the allegation? - Could you work with them to carry out functional analysis/chain analysis of each allegati...

Re: Friend with fear of wetting self
The OP asked for a bit of psyched, not analysis of their helping intentions ;o) Sue Watson and colleagues have recently written about this - its a reasonably common presentation of agoraphobic anxiety or social anxiety: http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1400718/1/Kamboj_et_al_(2013)_Behav_Cog_Psychother.pd...

Re: EMDR training
I second the recommendation for Sandi Richman's training - her courses are consistely highly rated. In terms of the evidence base, the problem is that while there is good evidence for the efficacy of EMDR therapy for PTSD, the claimed underlying mechanisms do not stack up; particularly the idea of &...

Re: Book recommendations for formulation
I am not a fan of the johnstone book, but I have found the Hallam book to be really good:
Hallam (2013) Individual case formulation. Academic press.

Re: The Cathartic thread - rant here!
I have been thinking about powerful female archetypes, searching for an archetype that combines strength, wisdom, compassion, gentleness and courage. Almost a warrior, or a goddess, maybe a priestess-something inherently female and powerful, but that tempers strength and courage with wisdom and gen...

Re: Refused travel expenses because I declined the job
Hi Miriam, All I can say is what rudeness on their part, and also this is evidence enough that you have dodged a bullet not taking the job, over and above your other information about problems in the department. If you are feeling militant, I would write a formal grievance to the Head of HR as unles...

Re: Assessment
In my service we have a concept of an "extended assessment" which can be from anywhere between 4-12 sessions. The functions of an extended assessment can be one or more of the following: - clarifying a diagnosis where there have been varied opinions in the past, lots of comorbidities or in...
