This article presents a postgraduate psychotherapy training curriculum that incorporates findings from the psychotherapy research literature. Prior training recommendations are reviewed, and selected references from the empirical literature form the basis of the discussion. Past guidelines have not always incorporated findings from this literature. A curriculum is presented as a first step toward making this connection. This curriculum was implemented at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, in the summer of 1995. The psychotherapy research literature can assist psychotherapy coordinators to design curricula that are challenging and that can provide the necessary skills future psychiatrists will need.
ABSTRACT
This paper presents a model of formulation that can be used by psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. A review of the literature indicates a need for a more comprehensive approach that can accommodate a variety of perspectives, suggest treatment and can be easily recalled. These issues are addressed by the multiperspective grid presented in this paper.
