Overview

This course will provide participants with an introduction to the theory and practice of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT).

Who should attend?

This workshop will be of interest to people new to CAT who want to start to use the concepts to think about 1-1 clinical settings and organisational contexts, including social care. It would also be useful for those considering whether to apply for a two-year CAT Practitioner Training Course.

Course Aims

  • To introduce course members to the theory and practice of CAT
  • To understand key concepts used in CAT, including reciprocal roles, dilemmas, snags and traps and reformulation
  • To explore the use of CAT tools in therapeutic practice, including the psychotherapy file, therapeutic letters, diagrams and goodbye letters
  • To consider current applications of CAT in the NHS
  • To look at endings in brief, time-limited therapeutic interventions through the lens of CAT theory
  • To plan with participants ways in which aspects of CAT could be introduced into, or adapted for, their own clinical practice
