Kimberlie Dean Psychotherapy: two trials and an evaluation of access to treatment-
Two papers in the Journal this month present the results of randomised controlled trials of psychotherapeutic interventions – cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) for personality disorder and internet-delivered cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) for bulimia nervosa. Clarke et al (pp. 129–134) found that CAT was effective for individuals with a range of personality disorders when compared with treatment as usual. In this service-based trial, benefits were seen in diagnostic threshold status, measures of interpersonal functioning, and levels of symptomatic distress. Many of those receiving treatment as usual were noted by the authors to have demonstrated signs of deterioration during the trial period, while deterioration was not seen in any of the individuals randomised to receive CAT. In a linked editorial, Mulder & Chanen (pp. 89–90) comment that in additi on to emerging evidence of effectiveness, the practical nature and relatively short intervention period of CAT may make it particularly suitable for clinical services, although they note the lengthy time commitment required for training clinicians.

Sukhwinder S. Shergill Psychosis: quality of services, cost and neuroanatomy
In the current economic climate of increased austerity, there is an awareness of demonstrating that increased quality of service provision correlates with clinical outcomes. Many policy decisions are made on this basis but there is little direct evidence addressing this complex question. Killaspy and colleagues (pp. 28–34) found a positive association between quality of NHS mental health rehabilitation services and the clinical outcomes of these services. Interestingly, they report that rehabilitation delivered in hospital-based units was largely of equivalent quality to that of community-based units, and the psychiatric morbidity of the local area had a greater impact on quality than the characteristics of the patients placed there. They conclude that ongoing investment is necessary to deliver high-quality care and achieve a positive impact on patient s autonomy.
