The conference is the sequel to the 1994 one day S.P.R. conference of the same title and will focus on the continuum from psychotherapy research, through audit, to the outcome and quality assurance reporting now becoming central to the "quasi-market" of the purchasor-provider system in the N.H.S. within which some, sometimes all, forms of psychotherapy are being openly labelled as "luxury goods not within the basic services provided free at the point of delivery by the N.H.S." The conference will be focussed around discussion from the floor and will address this continuum of data and forms of investigation within the context of these political issues.
