The government IAPT plan reveals a welcome determination to tackle the country's mental health problems - especially by using evidence-based psychological therapies to improve quality of life and prevent mental/emotional problems worsening. Unfortunately, the scales are already heavily weighted in favour of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in that it is considered the only evidence-based therapy by most NHS mental health authorities. There are also signs of an ill-informed, media-lead, groundswell of public opinion headed in the same direction. While acknowledging the value of CBT, there is a strong case that alternative psychological therapies can achieve far better results - especially in the longer term. Unfortunately, the other disciplines frequently present as poor alternatives - not least because of their disparate, sometimes archaic, foundational dogmas, and their potential cost. Fortunately, much dogma can now be updated in the light of neuroscience, and the time factors can be shortened, paving the way for a more unified approach to mental health therapy; with potentially successful treatment across all categories of patient.
