My friend and colleague Tony Roth, who has died aged 70 from a brain tumour, was an academic in the field of clinical psychology.
Tony’s interest in what makes an effective therapist led to projects commissioned by the Department of Health & NHS England that resulted in the creation of new frameworks to summarise the skills and knowledge required to practise competently. These have helped to improve training, services commissioning and policy development across a range of therapies, as well as in other mental health areas such as self-harm prevention and children’s inpatient services.
