The treatment of acutely disturbed patients is a stressful area of psychiatric practice. Castle et al (1994) found that MRCPsych Part II trainees expressed a general dissatisfaction with training in the management of violence, and in our experience junior trainees are even less confident in the treatment of the disturbed patient. A survey by Cunnane (1994) found that no consensus exists among consultant psychiatrists on which drug treatment is most appropriate for the management of the aggressive, acutely disturbed psychotic patient. There was uncertainty as to optimal management, low expectation of quick results, unwillingness to express an opinion and the use of drug cocktails of dubious rationale.

“…Membership courses in general have been criticised (Castle et al, 1994) for providing inadequate practical help with research and management training in particular. A working party reporting on the issue of research by trainees (Johnston & Smith, 1991) found that 40% of trainees were unaware of any available research training, and only 14% of trainees in district general hospital units felt that they had adequate research training.…”

Doctors who are embarking upon general professional training in psychiatry as Senior House Officers (SHOs) are now faced with making a choice between two types of training schemes. The first type offers training on a membership course aimed primarily at teaching the skills required to pass Part 1 and Part 2 of the MRCPsych. The second type offers training on a university course leading to the award of a Masters degree in psychiatry.

“…In an early British survey of ECT treatment, Pippard and Ellam 3 reported that approximately half of junior doctors received minimal training, and only 1 in 4 doctors received some tuition but often not until after they had begun administering ECT. 5 A follow-up survey of Royal Free Hospital psychiatric trainees in 1995 by Hilam et al 6 revealed that 54% of trainees were supervised albeit inappropriately by a fellow trainee on the first occasion of ECT administration. 4 In another survey, which incorporated trainees in both the United Kingdom and Ireland, a postal questionnaire was distributed by a working party of the Collegiate Trainees' Committee of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in October 1992 to all trainees undertaking the part II MRCPsych examination, and 27% rated training in ECT as poor.…”
