Thank you Little Cat, I'm very interested in reading and understanding the study. I hope to read all of soon. It looks like they combed and studied the academic literature globally,that was already out there:

"The second aspect of the work package is looking at psychotherapy service users' self-reported experiences of the adverse effects of psychotherapy, outside of qualitative research studies. Here we are looking at discussion boards, blogs, articles, reports, and book chapters for the data. As for the first part of the work package the data is being synthesised and a model developed using Task Analysis."

I do believe we are being heard those that have been affected by less than adequate therapy/therapist, maybe even us as we use these different forums:

"Once the work package is complete we will have a better understanding of the therapy events that lead up to adverse effects, the types of adverse effects that occur and how they are experienced and expressed by psychotherapy service users."

If you would like more information about the study or to discuss anything further, please contact The Research Team in the first instance:

Maybe they would be interested in hearing from us.
