The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has issued guidelines recommending the use of psychological therapies in the treatment of a number of conditions and there are no plans to ask NICE to undertake a technology appraisal of psychological therapies.


Details of NICE guidelines available can be found at: www.nice.org.uk/Guidance.
