Access to LACAP services does not depend on the
individuals' ability to pay for the value of the
service, but upon the individuals' wanting to do
this work.
LACAP will offer individual psychodynamic
treatment on demand, unless there are sound
clinical reservations concerning that candidate's
suitability for the work (in which case, the
clinician may direct the patient towards other
services from which he or she might benefit).
In practice, this will mean that the clinician
will assess each individual and, bearing in mind
the indications and contra-indications for that
individual, will undertake counselling or
psychotherapy as appropriate. Psychotherapeutic
work may open into a full psychoanalysis.
Access to a LACAP therapist is immediate. The
patient will be supplied with the name of their
therapist when he or she first makes contact with
us (allowing for gender, age and language
preferences where these can be accommodated).
The patient and the therapist will then arrange a
first consultation. There are no forms, no waiting
lists and no institutional hurdles to jump. |
