Diploma in addiction behaviour: update.
The Diploma in Addiction Behaviour, offered by the Institute of Psychiatry of the University of London, began in 1986. We are now recruiting for the fourth year, 1989/90. Although its primary objective remains to 'train the trainers', this 'experiment in action' has in itself catalysed changes in the structure and goals of the programme. These include balancing the academic and clinical training, in which placements will be both hospital-based and community-orientated. Student participation will be maximised, and the experience of their own country emphasised. Training for leadership emerges as an important module, as does the process of learning about research skills.
