The Industrialisation of Care: Counselling, psychotherapy and the impact of IAPT

Description:

About this item:

The UK government s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme has transformed the landscape of counselling and psychotherapy across England. Local IAPT services provide therapy to thousands of people experiencing depression and anxiety. But they also absorb millions of pounds in government funding and stand accused of relying on an economic model of treatment that has more in common with the principles of Henry Ford than of either Rogers or Freud. This book, with chapters written by experienced therapists, psychiatrists and academics, reveals the neoliberal roots from which the IAPT programme sprang. It critiques the tightly regulated, highly manualised and medicalised therapies IAPT offers, the constant surveillance under which its practitioners work and the dehumanising effects of this on clients and therapists alike. Together, contributors question whether and to what extent the IAPT factory system of care, driven by psychiatric diagnosis, fast through-put and quick-win outcomes, can really provide a solution to our growing mental health crisis.

Review

This excellent and incisive book exposes the many misleading myths on which our national IAPT programme is based. These writers are fearless in exposing the faults in the system and suggesting avenues for necessary and vital reform. --Dr James Davies, University of Roehampton

This book just has to be read by anyone concerned with mental health from the generality of psychotherapists and counsellors to politicians to cultural commentators. --Prof. Andrew Samuels, Former Chair of the UK Council for Psychotherapy

5.0 out of 5 stars Important book for all those working in mental health and wellbeing

A. · 15 July 2022

A well-written and thought-provoking book, despite being a rather depressing read for those in relevant sectors trying to do their best to help others improve their mental health.As such, good intentions are thwarted by stagnated government policy and economic pressures. They know the system is failing, stats are misreported and yet so nothing about it.Very well researched and I would highly recommend it to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars RIP Counselling.

P.D. · 22 July 2019

The book reveals the death of Counselling in the NHS. It's been a slow death, as a Counsellor in an IAPT service, I've witnessed it from the inside. It's just a case of waiting for the burial now, as the BACP attempt to bolt the stable door, long after the horse has bolted.
