Overview of workshop
The afternoon will provide opportunities to explore bilingualism and the use of primary and secondary language in therapy. The complexities of the triadic relationship when working with an interpreter will be discussed within a CAT framework
Working with Interpreters, Bilingualism and CAT is the second in an Inclusive CAT series of full and half day CPD events focussing on CAT practice in the context of equality, diversity and intersectionality. These aim to support CAT therapists in working sensitively and effectively with individuals and client groups with protected characteristics.
The series includes a morning session with Jessie on Power and Powerlessness: Exploring Issues of Race and Culture in Therapy. You can book both half days together at a reduced rate by following this link.
Aims and learning outcomes
The half-day is designed to help participants:
- Understand the complexities of working across language in psychotherapy.
- Appreciate the interplay between emotion and fluency in two or more languages in therapy.
- Develop awareness of relational and process aspects of working in a triadic, rather than dyadic, therapeutic relationship.
- Build skills for working effectively with interpreters.
Attending this event will support participants in developing skills for sensitive and effective intercultural practice. They will also take away a reading list for further professional development.
Who is it for?
The event will be relevant for qualified and trainee CAT therapists (practitioner & psychotherapist level), plus other trainee and qualified therapists and UKCP-registered psychotherapists. Some familiarity with the CAT model will be useful.
