Course information:
The course is specifically focused on building understanding and skills in using this application of cognitive analytic therapy. It aims to:
The ‘5-Session CAT approach’ has been developed by adapting therapeutic skills to work in a containing way with these difficulties. It is different to ‘doing CAT therapy’ and uses different emphases and approaches. This Skills Building course provides:

Who is it for?
The training is particularly designed for those who provide direct work with service users and indirect consultancy as internal consultants, or are planning to begin. Their likely professional background would be a clinical psychologist or another mental health worker whose role includes consultancy work. The skills used in the approach are also well suited to being adapted to a variety of different contexts and can inform other kinds of work.
It is essential that participants have sufficient CAT knowledge and skills to be able to focus on the purpose of the course. This Skills Training is best suited to CAT practitioners, those in training or who have completed a work-based placement in CAT and have had supervised practice of at least one CAT therapy.
The clinical case examples are drawn from adult secondary level mental health services (community) and considered complex, with a history of trauma. If used, a ‘diagnosis’ may be some form of ‘personality disorder’.
The 5 session CAT workshop is continuing professional development (CPD), which is intended to enhance and develop skills within one’s own professional practice (e.g. mental health nurse, clinical psychologist, GP, psychiatrist, social worker). Attendance is NOT a CAT qualification, and does not equip people to practice cognitive analytic therapy or CAT formulation. In attending, those who are not qualified in CAT are using CAT ideas but not doing CAT. CAT skills graduates with some prior training can use it to enhance their CAT skills. Anyone can use CAT ideas or supervise anyone in their core role, using CAT ideas if they wish, but attending CAT CPD does not make them CAT qualified.
