Aims
The Scottish psychiatric workforce has remained largely static; in June 2022, there were 1,164.7 whole-time equivalent (WTE) psychiatrists across all grades. RCPsych In Scotland recognise the importance of focussing on, and improving, the recruitment and retention of trainees in Psychiatry in Scotland by undertaking a number of different projects.
MethodsWe understand that trainees have differing needs and therefore since 2018 have looked at different ways to attract and retain trainees using different mediums. These included membership benefits, written information, policy work, and events.
With funding from NHS Education for Scotland we focussed on undergraduate students creating bursaries, a new RCPsych In Scotland welcome pack and ran summer schools.
Focussing on existing trainees we had a stand at the virtual international congress, training events including ST4 interview skills webinars, bursaries for trainees to attend conferences and a workforce report to illustrate the likely gaps in future consultant posts as well as barriers to recruitment and retention throughout the work span.
ResultsDue to the lengthy duration of psychiatric training it is not possible to evaluate an immediate impact of the campaign on Scotland's workforce however we have seen benefit by looking at other measurable objectives. The work focussing on undergraduates had led to a 333% increase in student associate membership of RCPsych in Scotland.
In 2018 there was a 63.08% fill rate for core psychiatry posts compared to 100% in 2022. As recruitment is now national, it is not possible to get Scotland only data for competition ratios however the 2021 competition ratio for the UK was 2.99 compared to 1.48 in 2018.
We are starting to see a change in higher training fill rates. In 2022 there was a 69% fill rate over all specialties with Psychiatry of Older Adults and Medical Psychotherapy both having a 100% fill rate. This is a slight improvement from 2019 where there was a 61% fill rate.
ConclusionThe work undertaken by RCPscyh in Scotland has increased interest in psychiatry both at an undergraduate and post graduate level although there is still work to be done with regards to retention, both into higher training and also to consultant level posts. The work we are currently undertaking with the workforce report hopes to focus on the reasons that trainees leave training and we aim to use it to advocate for policy change with regards to training numbers and pathways in Scotland.

Summary
In the following pages, three experienced and accomplished Jungian analysts comment on where they would focus, what they would do, and what they imagine to be the course of treatment for “Joan.” Joan is a pseudonym for a patient whose printed case material each analyst received and read closely before writing a response. Each received the same case report, summarized from the actual records of a forty-four-year-old female patient at the Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders, a private hospital in the Philadelphia area. Renfrew generously made available this material, which had previously been used in the public domain at a national conference on eating disorders. Each analyst was asked to see things primarily from the perspective of her or his “school,” each one being a prominent representative of that approach. Dr. Beebe writes from the classical approach, Dr. McNeely from the archetypal, and Dr. Gordon from the developmental. The analysts did not consult with each other on the case. As you read their responses, you may note how they highlight the model sketched out by Andrew Samuels in the Chapter 1 in which he weighs the importance of the archetype, Self, and the development of personality as well as the clinical issues of the transferential field, symbolic experience of Self, and the phenomenology of imagery for each of the Jungian schools. What he has sketched as an interpretive model for the three schools of analytical psychology (see chapter 1, pp. 8-11) works very well in understanding the interpretations of these authors.

Summary
Introduction
Before providing a commentary from a practitioner perspective, it may be helpful briefly to describe my own background and approach to direct work with children. I shall also describe how I approached the task of providing a commentary on these five case studies.
My professional background is in probation, where latterly I worked as a divorce court welfare officer during the early 1980s. This experience had a profound impact on me, coming at a time when a fresh approach to family conflict resolution found a voice in conciliation. Work in a team that adopted the principles of conciliation, and applied them to situations of family conflict within a systemic framework, began to achieve startling results that avoided the damaging impact of Courtbased decisions. The approach began to recognise the value of children's contributions – if used carefully and sensitively and avoiding the courtinduced imperative of ‘Who would you rather live with?’ We began to involve children more and more in the decision-making process, developing communication skills through training and practice.
This experience demonstrated the necessity of helping children make sense of their circumstances past and present, express their feelings and wishes, and contribute to any decision-making process. These principles I carried into child protection work in the NSPCC, as a team manager and then trainer of practitioners and supervisors.
In summary, my approach to working with children combines the application of the major theories of childcare, the value of a systemic framework, and a constant questioning of assumptions based on discrimination and the mis-use of power. My current interests lie in exploring our conceptions of childhood and how these are played out in the systems and structures we employ for them, working inclusively with children, and achieving a balance of rights for children linked with a sense of responsibility – for their families, schools and communities.
A recent role has been responsibility for the development and production of training and resource packs. was first involved with the consortium that produced ABCD: Abuse and children who are disabled (NSPCC et al, 1994), which resulted in a greater inclusion of disabled children.

Summary
• The importance of a sound understanding of attachment theory and its application to all work with children.
• The relevance of an understanding of post-traumatic stress reaction and the likelihood of this being a feature in the history of an abused child. If the right questions are not asked, this can remain hidden.
• The impact of direct work with children on the worker and the absolute necessity of good supervision and consultation.
• The likely interplay of the work with aspects of one's own life.
• A knowledge of the likely psychological processes that may occur, and the opportunity for illuminating this through good supervision.
• The possibilities of undertaking this work in any setting, given the right support and resources, even if there is only limited equipment.
• The value of the primary resources of time, consistency and supervision.
• The value of knowing the research and using it appropriately – whether in arguing for space to do the work or for resources for the work itself.
• The necessity of careful assessment, planning and setting realistic aims.
• The value of working in partnership with parents and other carers.
• The ability to recognise children's resilience and their desire to heal and be healed.

What he has sketched as an interpretive model for the three schools of analytical psychology (see Introduction, pp. 8-11) works very well in understanding the interpretations of these authors. It must be remembered that none of the three analysts ever met the patient and, consequently, their essays should not be seen as comparing therapeutic practice. Rather, they are designed to illustrate different approaches to a real case. Apart from a few necessary instructions for thinking about the case, the following is all the information the authors received.

Considerable progress has been made recently in improving the accuracy of prediction of silage intake, when offered as the sole food, to growing cattle (Steen et al, 1995). However, in order to incorporate this information into feed rationing programmes, it is essential to obtain information on how silages of differing characteristics interact when offered with a range of levels and types of supplementary feeds. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of concentrate energy source and crude protein concentration, when offered at a range of feed levels, on the voluntary food of a diverse range of grass silages with both growing beef cattle and dairy cows.
