Aims & method Learning psychotherapy can be difficult and stressful. We explore core trainees’ (n = 5) views on undertaking a psychodynamic psychotherapy training case using transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), in an East London NHS Foundation Trust supervision group. We used framework analysis of focus group interviews to examine trainees’ concerns, their views about this experience and its impact on general psychiatric practice. Results Trainees described various concerns on starting: providing an effective intervention, insufficient experience and training-related pressures. However, they found that TFP addressed some of them and was helpful for learning psychodynamic psychotherapy. Difficulties around the countertransference remained at end-point. Trainees suggested that introductory teaching and learning through observation might be worthwhile. Clinical implications Trainees’ experience suggests that an evidence-based operationalised approach such as TFP can be integrated into the core psychiatry curriculum as a psychodynamic psychotherapy learning method. Trainees report benefits extending to other areas of their practice.

Transference Focused Psychotherapy

The psychoanalytic psychotherapies, which include brief psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy, transference focused psychotherapy, mentalization based treatment, and panic focused psychodynamic psychotherapy, are based on the underlying theory that symptoms stem from unconscious traumatic memories or conflicts about sexual and aggressive wishes as well as maladaptive or self-destructive behavior patterns that are unconsciously repeated. The cognitive-behavioral psychotherapies, which include cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, are based on the assumption that symptoms arise from maladaptive patterns of cognition and behavior that are learned via behavioral conditioning. Interpersonal psychotherapy, family therapy, and group therapy can be regarded as multiple-person therapies that view symptoms as arising from problems in relations between and among people. Crisis intervention and other supportive psychotherapies provide patients with advice and education to enhance coping skills and ego functions.

The Uk

The new Modernising Medical Careers agenda in the UK raises concerns about maintaining the standard of psychotherapy training (Mizen, 2007). In 1993 the Royal College of Psychiatrists made psychotherapy a mandatory rather than recommended work experience and there is now a competency portfolio outlining requirements for trainees. However, startling data have been revealed recently, showing that 91% of senior house officers did not meet the requirements of the Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (MRCPsych) exam regarding psychotherapy training and 23% were not even aware of them (Agarwal et al, 2007). the quality and variability of psychotherapy experience in training have been surveyed in several papers (Podlesjka & Stern 2003; Carley & Mitchison 2006; Pretorius & Goldbeck 2006), and some solutions to practical problems with its provision have been proposed, for example, consultation from a consultant psychotherapist, utilising feedback from trainees, and focusing on practicalities and logistics at a local level (Wildgoose et al, 2002; Mitchison 2007). However, little has been said about trainees' own experiences of undertaking supervised practice in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This paper discusses trainees' outlook on psychotherapy training schemes.

We conducted a survey of the psychotherapy training of a national sample of successful MRCPsych candidates to discover the extent of their psychotherapy training and their opinion about its adequacy. Ninety doctors answered the survey. Overall 71% of trainees had clinical experience in behavioural–cognitive psychotherapy and 78% in psychodynamic psychotherapy with fewer gaining experience in group and family psychotherapies. The majority of trainees were dissatisfied with the extent of their behavioural-cognitive psychotherapy training (82%) and psychodynamic training (50%). Trainees felt that their psychotherapy training was an important component of their psychiatric training.
