Comparison of referrals from primary and secondary care to CMHT psychologists.

Objectives: To explore whether (direct) referrals from GPs to two Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) clinical psychologists differed from those received from both 'Psychiatric' (eg. consultant psychiatrists) and 'Other' sources.

Method: The two psychologists retrospectively examined and coded the case files of all clients who attended them during a 12-month period.
