In 1987 and 1989 surveys of junior doctors' experience of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy in the South West Thames Region were published (Drummond & Bhat, 1987; Drummond & Bhat, 1989). These surveys demonstrated that a marked increase in the numbers of trainees gaining cognitive and behavioural experience was shown following monthly visits by the peripatetic Senior Lecturer in Behavioural Psychotherapy. The number of trainees gaining experience of treating at least one case under supervision increased from 17% to42% over this period. However, this still fell short of the College recommendations that every trainee should receive this experience and treat at least two cases under supervision.
