MAP Treatment Pathway:This is an exciting opportunity to work in a supportive, reflective and creative psychologically-led multi-disciplinary team. The MAP Pathway is an innovative and leading service in the treatment of complex anxiety and depression. The MAP Pathway focuses on understanding and working with the relational patterns underlying anxiety and depression, and there are separate pathways working with Psychosis, PTSD or Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) presentations. The pathway has developed innovative ways of working with complex anxiety and depression presentations, involving formal brief interventions (e.g. Behavioural Activation, Anxiety management, Agoraphobia treatments), a range of group interventions (4x groups) and Key-Clinician sessions (based on psychological formulation). It is a small contained team staffed by Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Nurses, an Associate Mental Health Worker and Assistant Psychologists.

Models used within the pathway range from CAT, psychodynamic, Systemic and CBT (including 3rd wave approaches).
