| Abstract: | The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) was formed to provide a professional body for all psychotherapists in the UK. It maintains a register of trained practitioners who abide by the ethical standards ratified by UKCP, which includes psychotherapists working in all the modalities recognized by UKCP irrespective of their primary professional training. In the absence of statutory registration, there is no fully representative list of UK psychotherapists, but the UKCP register is probably the nearest thing to it. The UKCP board recognized that a survey of registrants would provide a snapshot of the state of UK psychotherapy, which would be valuable in understanding the contribution of psychotherapists to health services in the UK.  | |
