The Future of Therapy
At the next Tavistock Policy Seminar, I will be presenting the results of the 2016 Surviving Work Survey, which looks at the future of work in the therapeutic sector.
At last.
In my defence, it’s taken a year of graft to analyse the data and interviews so that it does some justices to the material. Over 1500 people working in mental health from across the UK answered some blunt questions about their working conditions, incomes, concerns and experiences.
The results of the survey will be launched at www.thefutureoftherapy.org on the 13th November, full of stories from the frontline. Because of the widespread concerns of therapists about victimisation, all of the responses are anonymised. The site has no names, no workplaces, no identifying information at all.
What it does show is a dramatic picture of the emerging sectoral trends in the profession: the growth of self-employment and unwaged work, performance management and the tyranny of targets, the downgrading of work and the role the therapeutic training and professional bodies in this state we’re in.
The survey results offer no happy ever afters, rather a chance to talk about how frontline workers prepare for the future of work in the current crisis, based on some actual facts.
Because most of the respondents live outside London we will be recording the event. However, as these discussions go, friendly faces are seriously welcome. It would a complete pleasure to see you there.
