American Psychiatry has been traditionally very psychodynamically oriented, and much of this has been due to the influence of Adolf Meyer and his psychobiological concept of psychopathology. If Edward Shorter is to be believed, analysis also allowed psychiatrists to move from the asylum and into the office where they could have lucrative private practices. In the 1940s and 50s psychoanalysis was very much in vogue in intellectual circles, and psychiatrists tending to be more intellectual than most physicians jumped on the bandwagon. Despite a Neo-Kraepelinian revival from the 1970s onwards, psychoanalysis has persisted in psychiatry, particularly at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Cornell and over the past 10 years there has been an increasingly prominent role of psychotherapy in psychiatric residency training as it has become clear that medication alone is not helpful in most cases.
Most of the top programs have a very strong psychodynamic bent to this day, and the psychotherapy curriculum appears very heavily oriented to dynamics with some notable exceptions (Michigan, WPIC, UW, UCLA, Penn) where the training appears a bit more balanced although even Penn is quitely heavy on dynamics considering it is the birthplace of Cognitive Therapy (though let us not forget Beck was analytically trained and much of cognitive theory is a rehash on psychoanalytic theories (e.g. manic defence hypothesis, schemas seem remarkably similar to object relations concepts, psychoanalytic theories of BPD align well with what we known about cognitive development and social cognition)
France is still heavily psychoanalytically influenced, with Lacan being very popular amongst many psychiatrists (apparently he is also popular in Argentina too). The UK is extremely CBT-heavy - Part of the reason is the health service is funded by the state and there is a focus on evidence-based cost-effective time limited therapies. However the government is now supporting training in ISTDP for depression which will be rolled out across the country. That said North London (Freud's final resting place) is home to the Tavistock Clinic, the Institute for Psychoanalysis, the Anna Freud Centre, and hundreds of analytically trained psychiatrists with private practices. There are also psychiatrists who do only psychoanalytic therapy or full blown analysis and never write a single prescription. There are even psychoanalytically run inpatient units such as The Cassell Hospital and even the Maudsley Hospital which is ultrabiological has a psychoanalytically based therapeutic community. So whilst the UK is very much in love with CBT (to the extent in some areas it is the first line treatment for prodromal schizophrenia) there is still analysis there and some of the most famous psychoanalysts were psychiatrists in Britain (Balint, Bion, Winnicott, Bowlby, Laing, Fairbairn) and both Anna Freud and Melanie Klein lived in Britain.
Certainly clinical psychology in the UK is almost entirely CBT-based especially at the major places with the exception of UCL.
