Access to LACAP services does not depend on the individuals' ability to pay for the value of the service, but upon the individuals' wanting to do this work. LACAP will offer individual psychodynamic treatment on demand, unless there are sound clinical reservations concerning that candidate's suitability for the work (in which case, the clinician may direct the patient towards other services from which he or she might benefit). In practice, this will mean that the clinician will assess each individual and, bearing in mind the indications and contra-indications for that individual, will undertake counselling or psychotherapy as appropriate. Psychotherapeutic work may open into a full psychoanalysis. Access to a LACAP therapist is immediate. The patient will be supplied with the name of their therapist when he or she first makes contact with us (allowing for gender, age and language preferences where these can be accommodated). The patient and the therapist will then arrange a first consultation. There are no forms, no waiting lists and no institutional hurdles to jump.
