Abstract:

The ambivalence towards psychotherapy services, underlying oedipal anxieties and the sense of exclusion from the therapeutic dyad, is explored. Their significance and the role of unconscious factors and their interplay with organisational dynamics are discussed, drawing on personal experience. Their importance in the purchasing of psychotherapy services is considered and the development of helpful strategies is described.
