This memorandum concerns training in psychotherapy during the initial three year period of general professional training in psychiatry. A brief statement on this training was included in the statement on approval of training schemes for general professional training (1984). This document also stated that every trainee should have a minimum of one year's training in general psychiatry and some experience from among a variety of sub-specialties. At present none of the sub-specialty experience is mandatory, but all training schemes should provide as wide a range of sub-specialty experience as possible.
