Popis:	In 1975 the DHSS made psychotherapy one of the five psychiatric specialities. Since then, any compre hensive District mental health service has had to include a psychotherapy department. The types of disorder that benefit from dynamic psychotherapy, for example neuroses and person ality disorder, are well documented (Malan, 1979). Many of the patients with such conditions demand a lot of attention from primary care services, com munity services and general psychiatric teams. A District can reduce the strain on these services, and its need for day hospital places and hospital beds in the management of these patients, by establishing an out-patient psychotherapy department. One of the main reasons why Districts have been slow to develop psychotherapy is that they have faced problems about what kind of staff they can safely employ.
