The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the serious difficulties of the mental health field due to the progressive cuts in staff and the suffering in the population and mental health professionals themselves. The three associations CNSP, FIAP and SIPSIC, that represent the majority of Italian psychotherapists of different orientations, ask for targeted interventions, including the following: compliance and updating of the Essential Levels of Care (LEA) in the public sector; increase in the number of psychotherapists; recognition of the need for psychotherapeutic interventions targeted to the different forms of distress and life cycle phases; conventions between the National Health Service and the Clinical centers of schools of psychotherapy linked to scientific associations.
