POSTGRADUATE TEACHING PROGRAMME
FIRST SEMESTER 2015-2016
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the first semester of the 2015-2016 year of the Postgraduate Teaching
programme in Psychiatry. This will run on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 16.09.2015 –
16.12.2015. The teaching programme has the following components:
Postgraduate Lecture and Seminar Course
Course Organisers: Dr Alison Haddow and Dr Allen Shand
This course was developed jointly by Grampian, Tayside and Highland Mental Health Services.
The course has two main elements, Special Study Days (SSDs) and Clinical Seminars.
Special Study Days: These will be common to trainees in Grampian, Tayside and Highland.
They will consist of lectures and seminars covering all the main clinical areas in psychiatry. We
have attempted to draw on the best expertise in our own services and also to bring in outside
speakers of national repute. We hope that speakers will present an overview of recent
research and current developments in their subject. SSDs usually start at 10:00 or 10.30 am.
The SSDs on Basic Principles are repeated annually to bring them into synchronisation with
the College examination calendar. Although it may be of benefit to trainees to attend on
consecutive years, this is not mandatory.
Clinical Seminars: The format of these is flexible and we have encouraged tutors to take a
creative approach to this teaching. The seminars might include case presentations. The major
purpose of these sessions is to guide trainees in the task of identifying areas in which learning
is required.
Venues: Aberdeen Special Study Days will be held in Seminar Room A, Block A, Clerkseat
Building, Royal Cornhill Hospital. Clinical Seminars will take place in Seminar Room B, with
video link to Inverness. Dundee teaching will be held at the Carseview Centre, Medipark, Tom
McDonald Avenue, Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.
Feedback forms will be issued to you after each teaching session. Would you please complete
these and give them to whoever has led the SSD or seminar. If you have any concerns about
the course, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Haddow (01224 557507) or Dr Shand (01224
557536).
Mental State Meetings
Co-ordinator: Dr Naglaa Massoud
Venue: Seminar Room A, Royal Cornhill Hospital
These are held on Wednesdays from 09:00 am to 10:20 am during term-time. The purposes
of these meetings are to enhance interview skills and case presentation and, in particular, the
development of an accurate and articulate report of mental state. All trainees are expected to
attend. The meetings will be of particular value to trainees who are preparing to sit the
clinical components of the MRCPsych examination.
The ability to do a case presentation with confidence is an important professional skill and one
that can be developed by attendance at the Mental State Meetings.
We are exploring how to improve the exam-relevance of the Mental State Meetings and
would welcome suggestions on this. The Mental State Meetings are also relevant to
workplace based assessments.
Evidence-based Case Conference and Journals Club
Co-ordinator: Dr Elizabeth Willox
Venue: Seminar Room A, Royal Cornhill Hospital
This is held on Wednesdays from 11.30 until 1.00 pm. These sessions begin with presentation
of a research paper of relevance to the patient to be discussed. This will be done by a trainee
psychiatrist. There is then a full case presentation. This is done in turn by consultant teams
who are expected to select a patient who is of particular interest or one who has presented
unusual problems of diagnosis or management.
Multidisciplinary Journals Club
Co-ordinator: Dr Jenny Bryden and Dr Gemma Fleming
Venue: Seminar Room A, Royal Cornhill Hospital
This is held on Thursdays between 12:30 and 1:30 pm. The purpose of this part of the
Teaching Programme is to present research papers of clinical relevance and to foster critical
discussion of research. Lunch is usually provided. A consultant will chair each meeting. Two
trainees have been allocated to each slot. Papers have been allocated in advance for these
sessions. We hope that this will allow presentation of high quality papers covering a range of
areas of interest. The Chair and speakers should meet in advance to go over the papers and
to discuss issues such as content and presentation style.
Psychotherapy Supervision
Co-ordinator: Dr Marina McLoughlin
Each trainee is allocated to a supervision group according to his/her level of experience. See
programme for times and venues.
Aberdeen trainees are invited to the Psychotherapy department’s in house seminar
programme. These are held on Monday mornings at 11am. Interested individuals who can
commit to regular attendance should email Dr McLoughlin beforehand.

Psychotherapy training for CT1-CT3 (NHS Grampian)
All Core Trainees in Psychiatry need to provide evidence of the competencies in psychological
treatments in order to progress from CT3. The basic minimum is to undertake, under
supervision, two psychological therapy cases in two modalities between years CT1 and CT3.
One of these cases should be a brief treatment (12-20 sessions) and the other a longer term
treatment (24 sessions or longer).
It is the aim of the Psychotherapy Department to support our trainees in acquiring the
necessary competencies and progressing in their training however it is the trainee’s
responsibility to make sure they are getting the necessary experience.
Balint Group (Department of Psychotherapy)
The process of developing competencies in psychotherapeutic approaches starts with the
Case-Based Discussion (Balint) group. This group is an ongoing opportunity for developing
clinical practice by thinking psychologically about everyday work experiences. The College
expects evidence of attending a minimum of 30 case-based discussion groups. The Balint
group is mandatory to training, runs for 1 year (the duration of CT1) on once/week basis
irrespective of term times and fulfils current College recommendations. Core trainees receive
a completed CBD form after 6 months and after 12 months of attending the group. Trainees
will need the evidence of attending the Case-Based Discussion group for their ARCP and to
apply for the CASC.
“The essence of the group’s work is a speculation and empathy exercise in what it may be like
to be the doctor and what it may be like to be the patient in the relationship that has been
presented for the group to consider. The result for the presenter (and only a little less directly
for the group members) is a different perspective on this patient, on the sources of difficulty for
the doctor, and finally on alternate (and hopefully more effective) ways for the doctor and
patient to be in a healing relationship.”
Balint 1957

 see Appendix 1
Personal psychotherapy is not obligatory but may be beneficial to enhance the tolerance of
distress, anger and mixed emotions about professional situations and to develop insight. The
decision to have personal therapy rests with the trainee and the Department of
Psychotherapy does not participate in arranging such therapy.
At the beginning of CT2 year trainees are allocated either to CBT or Psychodynamic
Psychotherapy supervision groups. In Child and Adolescent or YPD posts there may also be an
opportunity for conducting therapy but this experience and the necessary supervision with an
accredited supervisor would need to be organised directly within that post. Once the first two
cases have been completed, Core Trainees also have an opportunity to undertake a case of
IPT.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy supervision (Department of Psychotherapy)
The Department of Psychotherapy organises supervision for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
cases. Patients suitable for psychotherapy by a trainee would be assessed by one of the
therapists within the Psychotherapy Department. Supervision is mandatory and is on once
weekly group basis. Usually a trainee would attend supervision for a few weeks prior to taking
on a suitable patient. The two completed SAPE forms and a Psychotherapy ACE form would
provide the necessary evidence of completion of therapy.

 J. Wilson “Starting out in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy”, Psychiatric Bulletin (2001),

Trainees who are interested and able to attend on a regular basis are also invited to come to
Psychotherapy Department in-house educational seminars. These seminars are held
once/month on Mondays 11.00 – 12.00 noon.
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) supervision (EDS, Fulton Clinic)
The Department of Psychotherapy organises supervision for CBT. Suitable cases can be taken
from the caseload of the team where the trainee works. However, it is important that the
trainee does not take on patients for therapy from their own caseload. All cases need to be
discussed with Mrs Sally Hill, CBT supervisor, prior to the assessment being carried out. The
trainee assesses the patient for CBT under Mrs Hill’s supervision. Supervision is mandatory
and is on once weekly group basis. The two completed SAPE forms and a Psychotherapy ACE
form would provide the necessary evidence of completion of therapy.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) supervision (Eden Unit, RCH)
Those Core trainees, who have completed their first two cases, may be interested to see a
patient for IPT.
The Department of Psychotherapy coordinates supervision for IPT. Suitable cases can be taken
from the caseload of the team where the trainee works. However, it is important that the
trainee does not take on patients for therapy from their own caseload. All cases need to be
discussed with Dr Jane Morris, IPT supervisor, prior to the assessment being carried out. The
trainee assesses the patient for IPT under Dr Morris’s supervision. Supervision is mandatory
and is on once weekly group basis on Wednesdays at 16.00. The two completed SAPE forms
and a Psychotherapy ACE form would provide the necessary evidence of completion of
therapy.
Psychotherapy assessments process:
All trainees, irrespective of the modality of the therapy cases they do, need to complete
assessment forms that would provide the evidence of the Psychotherapy competencies for
ARCP.
These forms are SAPE (Supervisor’s Assessment of Psychotherapy Expertise) and
Psychotherapy ACE (Assessment of Clinical Expertise).
SAPE forms are completed by trainee’s supervisor and Psychotherapy ACE forms are
completed by Dr M. McLoughlin, Psychotherapy Tutor.
For each psychotherapy case a trainee needs to write a short formulation (the current
understanding of the patient’s difficulties) mid-way through therapy. This formulation is then
discussed with the supervisor and the first SAPE is completed at this point. At the end of
treatment the final formulation is written and another SAPE is completed. Thereafter a
trainee would need to arrange an appointment with Dr Marina McLoughlin in order to
complete a Psychotherapy ACE.
The two SAPE forms are used to inform the completion of the Psychotherapy ACE and
Psychotherapy ACE provides the Psychotherapy competencies evidence for the ARCP process.
Appendix 1
Balint in a Nutshell
An Introduction by Heather Suckling
History of the Balint Group
The name is that of Michael Balint a Hungarian psychoanalyst.
His main work was as a psychoanalyst at the Tavistock Clinic, in London. He started groups for
GPs in the 1950s to study the doctor-patient relationship; he described them as “Trainingcum-research” groups. He worked closely, and ran groups with his third wife, Enid – a Social
Worker and Marriage Guidance Counsellor. Her influence on medical training is probably as
great as his.
What is a “traditional” Balint Group?
It consists of 6-12 doctors with 1-2 leaders and it meets regularly.
Meetings usually last for 1-2 hours and the group continues for 1 or more years.
The method is that of case presentation without notes.
What happens in a Balint group?
The leader asks “Who has a case?”
The presenter who volunteers tells the story of a consultation; this is not a standard case
presentation, but a description of what happened between the doctor and the patient. It need
not be long, complicated or exciting but something that is continuing to occupy the
presenter’s mind. It may be puzzling, or has left the presenter feeling angry, frustrated,
irritated or sad.
The group discusses the relationship between the doctor and patient and tries to understand
what is happening that evokes these feelings. The feelings which the patient evokes are
significant and may be reflected in the presenter or in the group. This facilitates the
understanding of the patient.
All discussions within the group are confidential.
What can a Balint group do?
It provides an opportunity for doctors to reflect on their work. It can provide an outlet for
anxieties and frustrations generated by their work. It can arouse a doctors’ interest in patients
whom they have previously found upsetting, annoying or “difficult”. It can open minds to
other possibilities, both of diagnosis and day to day management. The group provides support
and improves communication with patients and other professionals. It can improve job
satisfaction, the patient’s perception of care and help to prevent burn-out.
What does a Balint group not do?
It does not tell the doctors “how to do” their work.
It does not provide easy answers.
It will not solve all doctors’ problems with patients.
Who was Michael Balint?
He was born in Budapest in 1896, the son of a GP.
He became interested in psychoanalysis after first hearing Freud speak in 1918 and when he
met his first wife, Alice, who was an analyst.
He obtained his Doctorate in medicine in 1920 and initially worked as a biochemist.
Later he undertook psychoanalytic training, his analyst was Sandor Ferenczi. Balint worked as
a psychoanalyst in Budapest during the Fascist regime, but in 1939 came to Manchester (UK)
as a refugee.
In 1945 he was appointed as a Psychoanalyst at the Tavistock Clinic.
In the early 1950s he began his work with GPs- the Balint Group was born.
In 1957 “The Doctor, his Patient and the Illness”, his seminal work, was published.
The founders of the Royal College of General Practitioners were profoundly influenced by
Balint’s ideas; they formed the basis of modern postgraduate training for general practice.
He used the term “patient-centred medicine” in his description of the group he ran at
University College hospital for medical students in 1969
“Perhaps the essence of Balint Groups has always been to share experiences and enable
people to observe and rethink aspects of their relationships with patients and their work as
doctors.”
Enid Balint (1992) ‘The Doctor, the Patient and the Group’
HCS Jan 2006 (amended Feb.2007)
Attendance (applies to CT1-3 only)
Attendance at some elements of the teaching has been disappointing in recent years. We
have therefore decided to introduce individual attendance sheets. A copy of this is at the end
of this programme. You should take this to teaching sessions and request that the chair or
tutor signs this. If you are unable to attend you should write the reason for this in the space
for this signature. This is an important document which you will be expected to produce when
you meet the tutor for routine assessments and you should take great care of it. We would
advise you to make a regular electronic copy to protect against the eventuality of it being
mislaid.
Grampian Philosophy, Psychiatry and Psychology Interest Group
Co-ordinator: Dr. John Callender
This is not part of the formal teaching programme but may be of interest to you. The group
meets on Thursdays at 4.45 pm approximately once every three months. The meetings attract
a mixed audience of clinicians, philosophers, neuroscientists and others. If you wish to be
informed of meetings, you should ask Diane Sandison (57600 or dianesandison@nhs.net) to
put your name on our mailing list.

ACE Case
If the candidate chooses, this is an opportunity to do one of their required ACE, Work
Place Based Assessments. The candidate will examine the patient from 9 am to 9.45 am with
CCTV link. They will then have 5 minutes to organise their findings before presenting the
history, mental state and differential diagnosis to the examiners (approx. 10 minutes). The
remaining 20 minutes will be used to discuss candidates’ examination technique and/or any
interesting aspects of the patient’s presentation.
CASC Practice
Examiners are to provide scenarios with one examiner acting as the patient. Each scenario will
be 7 minutes long with 1 minute for preparation. Time should allow for two stations per
candidate-each lasting 7minutes. In the CASC examination, candidates will be given scenarios
lasting 10 minutes each with two minutes’ preparation time in addition to the 7 minute
scenarios. Please refer to the ‘examination’ section of the RCPsych website for further details.

Post-graduate programme (Psychotherapy Supervision)
All trainees are expected to attend weekly psychotherapy supervision as an essential component of
their psychiatric training.
Supervision is provided by Dr Marina McLoughlin, Mrs Stephanie Kubrycht and Dr Jane Morris.
Psychodynamic cases are allocated from Psychotherapy Department list of patients. The choice of IPT
patients needs to be discussed with Dr Jane Morris.
Balint-style group: all trainees are encouraged to participate in a Balint style group initially, which
provides an opportunity to think about and discuss their interactions with patients in any settings. The
aim is to help the trainees understand the complexity and importance of the therapeutic relationship
and the impact it can have on patient and clinician. This is held in the Psychotherapy Department,
Group Room 1 on Wednesdays between 10.30 am and 11.30 am.
Psychodynamic supervision group is held between 10.30 am and 11.30 am on Wednesdays in the
Psychotherapy Department, Ground Floor Group Room.
IPT supervision group is held between 16.00 and 17.00 on Wednesdays.
