IAPT Haemorrhaging Clients

"
IAPT in its’ pilot projects is expanding ‘IAPT care’ into the medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) field (see link below).

Despite the concept of MUS being jettisoned from DSM-5 [American Psychiatric Association (2013)] – in a radical departure from its’ predecessor DSM IV it cautions that it cannot be assumed that just because no physical explanation is proferred the problem must be psychological.

Nevertheless IAPT in its report on integrated services comes up with an ‘MUS recovery rate’!
