Professor Andrew Samuels, author, international political activist, and advisor to governments in the UK and US speaks to Chrissie Pollard about the content and substance behind the claims of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), access to talking therapies, and the neglect of youth mental health. 

Whilst UK centric, this is a microcosm of problems with government policy in mental health around the world.

Co-founder of ITT, Previn Karian has developed some themes here in his Response to Andrew Samuels.

We present mental health experts and crisis organisations with their different clients and different approaches.
