Abstract

In addition to setting out a brief account of the skills and competences which counsellors and psychotherapists need to have aboard if the are to deliver clinically effective services, this paper also sets out to identify the obstacles which have hindered - and continue to hinder - the development of such initiatives. It suggests that the greatest obstacles to progress lie in the conservatism of established institutional practice, in the reluctance of service providers to reexamine their own professional ideologies, and in the extreme difficulties encountered by minority professionals who seek to make their voices heard.
