Overview of workshop:
Individual clinicians and teams can feel challenged when working with people whose difficulties attract a diagnosis of ‘personality disorder’. Staff can become involved in interpersonal enactments which damage the therapeutic alliance and increase the likelihood of disengagement from therapy. Therapeutic work can be undermined in other ways, including loss of empathy and increased staff burnout.

CAT’s Multiple Self States Model (MSSM) provides an understanding of the processes at play in working with complex presentations. CAT tools and skills enable the clinician to offer a non-collusive therapeutic response to complexity. The MSSM can also inform and foster more benign clinical management when used in consultancy and indirect work with teams and systems providing care for this client group.

Aims and learning outcomes:
This day offers an opportunity to develop competencies for working with complexity in both direct and indirect work. It will:

§  be structured around real clinical material – both audio and transcripts

§  develop participants’ ability to recognise and identify states and self-states

§  build skills in reformulating (mapping) complex material, and tracking states and state shifts

§  use trainer role play to demonstrate the competencies involved in working with in-session enactments

§  offer opportunities for skills to be practised in experiential small-group work

Who is it for?
The day is aimed at those training in or who have completed CAT practitioner training (or those with considerable knowledge and clinical skills in CAT) who would like to deepen their knowledge and skills in working with complex interpersonal dynamics. Relevant theory will be included but the focus will be on skills development and clinical application.
