Joanna et al.,

That was a creepy forward, for sure (for a reminder see <http://www.coregp.org/ 
 >). I see this effort by the British government as part and parcel of  
the commodification of healthcare. It's anti-human to me, as it de- 
centers the human relationship of therapist and client. But the  
reduction of the patient into organs and systems and so on is plainly  
not limited to psychotherapy. In fact, it sounds a bit Buddhist!
