To learn psychotherapy, each psychiatric course provides many case-studies and seminars as gateways for senior residents. Additional workshops and supervision of psychotherapy may be useful for learning. Residents wanting further education can select training courses for systematic psychotherapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or psychoanalysis.
Furthermore, it is important that psychotherapy should be learned individually from specialists in suitable environments. Residents who have little interest in psychotherapy will gain interest by interacting with specialists and to becoming qualified psychotherapists. Residents should work closely with specialists as role models.
