Aims:
This specialist course is for psychological therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses and individuals with allied clinical roles in adult mental health, forensic and prison settings.

It seeks to enhance their relational and therapeutic skills through using CAT. CAT is an increasingly widely used integrative therapy. It is pro-active and collaborative with a particular focus on reciprocal interactions between client and others/therapist.

CAT is proving to be particularly helpful in working with interpersonally challenging clients who may be described as ‘hard to help’, ‘personality disordered’ or ‘risky’- whatever the formal diagnosis.
For these clients the mapping and description of problematic patterns of relating and self-management, including risky behaviors, proves to be helpful not only to the client themselves but also to those attempting to engage and work (often of necessity on a collective team basis) with them.

Structure:
Theory and Skills workshops (5 days), supervised clinical work (35 hrs), and a personal development therapy session (1/2 day).

Dates: 
To be run over 6 months with a start date of 5th December 2011

Venue:
