The lack of research into CAT has threatened its continued success.  Now that is changing, thanks to a renewed ACAT research strategy  currently in development, more research published, useful and interesting findings and new opportunities to participate in.

Overview of conference:

Cognitive Analytic Therapy is now practised across health care, social care, higher education and in the private sector.  It is one of the most widely used psychotherapies for NHS patients with complex mental health needs and as a consultation model gains more impact each year.  Yet until recently the research evidence in CAT has lagged behind its popularity, threatening its continued success.

With a renewed ACAT research strategy in development and more CAT research published than ever before, this conference will help you get right up to date with new research findings in CAT.  It will also provide support to develop your research ideas or put existing data to work in terms of dissemination and publication.

Every practitioner can benefit from this opportunity, whether as an existing researcher, a research collaborator, a clinician wanting to make better use of evidence in your practice, or to build confidence in your own research activity.

We encourage all within the CAT community to join us for this first joint event between ACAT and Catalyse.

What will the day include?

A range of active and experienced CAT researchers will present their findings plus CAT insights into the process of doing research.  Through focused group activities you’ll gain support and advice for your own research activity, bearing in mind your ZPD in this area.

Who is it for?

CAT practitioners, psychotherapists and trainees will find this conference is a great way to get right up to date with new research findings in CAT.  Also come if:

§  you want to make better use of existing evidence in your practice

Topics to be covered include:
