Joint Committee On Health
Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health: Discussion
Dr. Liam Mac Gabhann:
It is an excellent brief intervention. It does not get to the cause. It helps reintegration, as do lots of other approaches, but it is really useful as a crisis intervention and the beginning of trying to reintegrate body and head. The Deputy has heard of other examples regarding body and head. In its explanation, Sankalpa does that as well. I agree that if it were accessible, and it is becoming more accessible because more services are training practitioners, it would still be the few rather than the many, but it is a useful brief intervention for trauma.
