The 5-Session CAT Approach : Skills Training - Using CAT to inform care planning whilst working jointly with the service user and the care co-ordinator
Led by Angela Carradice & Dawn Bennett
The course is specifically focused on building understanding and skills in using this application of cognitive analytic therapy. It aims to:
enhance understanding and skills to help work with service users who are unable to make use of individual psychotherapy and often have significant risks and instability in their lives
provide knowledge and skill in this approach, developed to enable effective ways of team working with thi client group, whilst alo focussing on aiming to ‘do not harm’.
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 is a Skills Building course which provides:
an introduction to the approach and the key skills used
the chance to observe the skills being used
the chance to practise the main skills with feedback from the trainers.
Skills will include:
working with the service user and staff to develop ‘here and now’ CAT reformulations and to inform case management
working with presenting risks, developing shared goals, and collaboratively agreeing ways that that the service user and care co-ordinator will work together. This would include developing plans for change, a contract with the service, and how endings will be planned and managed.
