There is a logistical problem with that, unfortunately. There are only so many psychs in this country, and each psych can only see so many patients at a time
If we end up in a situation where demand outstrips supply (as it often does) and there’s no clear end point for moving into a less intensive phase of management we’re still going to have the same problem of “people, including quite acutely ill people, needing care and not getting it.”

Then in my opinion we need to hugely incentivise there to be more psychologists in our country, to have an over supply even.
