Extract

It is widely believed by psychiatrists that patients who require behavioural psychotherapy need to be referred for such treatment to a specialist in the subject. Two assumptions underlie this idea. One is that behavioural treatment requires a detailed knowledge of learning theory which is possessed by few psychiatrists. The other assumption is that behavioural methods are too time-consuming for a busy psychiatrist in a routine outpatient or primary care clinic.
