This episode of The Thought Broadcast considers the Psychotherapy Written Case; a centrally administered assessment task that can be daunting for trainees. The panel speaks to Dr Steven Yeates, an experienced psychodynamic psychiatrist and supervisor, on the important and often-vexed topic of patient suitability. This discussion follows on from Dr Yeates’ instructional paper in Australasian Psychiatry entitled, “‘To see or not to see, that is the question’ – A commentary on patient selection for the RANZCP psychotherapy written case.”1 The podcast explores the value of the frame of therapy, challenges with finding suitable patients in typical training contexts, and offers practical advice for trainees. To further borrow from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Lord Polonius conferred the advice, “Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice”: this podcast addresses why novice therapists should also be cautious about which patients they give their voice to in their first psychodynamic therapeutic encounter. Dr Yeates was interviewed on 28th July 2023 by Associate Trainee Editor Dr Oliver Robertson, Deputy Editor Dr Andrew Amos, and Editorial Committee Member Dr Michael Weightman.
