Practitioner Level Training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy
October 2017 - June 2019
Course Directors:  Dee Affleck and Jamie Kirkland

Applications are invited for places on a 2 year Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) Practitioner Level Training Course. The course is accredited by the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) and leads to the award of a Cognitive Analytic Therapy Diploma and accredited as a CAT Practitioner / Therapist.

Applicants will normally, but not exclusively, have a professional background in mental health or caring professions, have at least two years post-qualification experience and have some familiarity with the model. CAT is increasingly recognised as an effective, trans-diagnostic, evidence-based model for working with more complex and ‘borderline’ type disorders, both as an individual therapy and also as a conceptual framework for whole team and systemic approaches. This course exists as a ‘stand alone’ training, but may also serve as a precursor to a further advanced 2 year interregional CAT training which confers full UKCP accreditation. For further information see ACAT online at www.acat.me.uk  

The course will consist of 10 training days annually, supervised clinical work, attendance at seminars and written work. The course will comprise a significant experiential aspect and there will be a strong emphasis on the personal development of trainees. Experience of a personal therapy (CAT) is mandatory. The training days will take place in a central location (Stirling) whilst clinical supervision and seminar groups will be set up locally to accommodate, as far as possible, the needs of trainees around the country.

Course fees (including registration with ACAT) will be £1950 per annum and supervision costs (which may be negotiated separately) £1000 per annum. Total cost for the 2 year course will be £5,900. Personal therapy is likely to cost in the region of £650. Initial application fee will be £10 with a further £40 for interview costs.

Closing date for applications - 31st March 2017
