Links about psychotherapy and mental health
I have selected a number of links to the websites of a number of organisations that you may find it helpful to consult about psychotherapy and mental health matters. They are (in my view) either official sites of major professional organisations, or well-backed and researched websites with reliable information supported by many professionals. Nevertheless, they are all coloured by the convictions, specific profession, and school-adherence of their authors.
