AdEPT:Understanding and Preventing the Adverse Effects of Psychological Therapies
Questionnaires and Interviews
- The aim of this work package is to explore what happens when therapy (‘talking treatments’, counselling, psychotherapy, psychological therapy) fails or ‘goes wrong’.
- We are seeking to interview 20 clients and 20 therapists who have experienced failed therapies to explore what they would have found helpful in preventing this occurring.
- The findings from this study will inform the development of potential tools to reduce the risk of people being harmed by psychological treatments.
If you have experienced therapy as a therapist or client, that you feel has ‘gone wrong’ or been harmful, we are keen to hear from you. It doesn’t matter whether you have used NHS services or not but you need to live in England and be aged 18 years or older in order to take part.
There are different ways to take part in our study, filling in a questionnaire, being interviewed, and/or taking part in a focus group – everyone has to initially complete a questionnaire.
