Well to be fair Oliver James is bit of quack himself.
And also, us Brits will happily gobble up *any* therapy that the NHS is to offer. Often there are waiting times in excess of a year. I was offered a pathetic 6 counselling sessions. What can you do with just six? And note, they are counselling sessions, and not therapy sessions. Sigh. I suppose this is all free so thats bonus.
Its just the way the article is written so black and white. And also The Times probably has bit of an anti-Blairite stance, it is, after all, owned by Rupert Murdoch.
So its basically good that the government are getting some CBT into the system. Sure it might not work long-term, but at least its better than nothing and its free. Its a start anyway! People in the US tend to forget that therapy isn't so common in Europe or accepted.
Yeah I agree Declan we all need more spirituality in our lives.
