EDITOR--It was very interesting to read the paper of Layard 'The case of
psychological treatment centres' [BMJ 2006,332;1030-1032]. I support the
idea of establishing psychological treatment or CBT centres in UK. I think that
with the great development in recent years in mental health services in
UK, with new generation of psychotropic drugs, specialised teams like Home
treatment/Crisis team, Assertive outreach, & Early intervention teams, so
establishing psychological treatment centres will be great move in the
right direction as such centres can work nicely with psychiatric
hospitals, community and specialised psychiatric teams, and general
practice.
