Publication of the Royal College of Psychiatrists’guidelines for provision of psychotherapy training for general psychiatric trainees led to the implementation of the pilot scheme described in this paper. The scheme offered an experience of individual psychodynamic therapy, with group supervision, for the beginning therapist. The authors describe the induction programme, the group experience, the experience of being supervised, working with the patient and ending. A personal view is offered, aiming to provide an understanding of the nature and quality of this experience, highlighting its benefits and difficulties. Conclusions are drawn as to the usefulness of the scheme in personal and professional spheres and in relation to the Royal College guidelines.
