Extract

Behavioural psychotherapy is being applied to an ever increasing range of children's problems. Well established techniques continue to be used by an increasing range of people from different professions. There is a slight danger that the techniques are so widely used that they are outstripping their data base and some thought needs to be given about the level of training necessary to ensure that new approaches are encouraged and critically evaluated.
