This further repeat of David Harvey’s one day workshop introduces participants to the CAT understanding of trauma (using the Multiple Self States Model) with a view to applying this as a tool for leadership with systems and teams. David uses cognitive analytic therapy ideas to conceptualise the overwhelming challenges that teams face when working with people with complex presentations and high levels of risk. The day explores and shares applications of the model to help guide action and leadership in such contexts.
Participants will have an opportunity to:
This event is relevant for all professionals tasked with leading or influencing other colleagues, teams or systems supporting service users with complex needs and/or high risks.
“It was really helpful that open discussion was encouraged and to hear about people’s issues and experiences.”
“I thought Dave was an absolutely brilliant trainer, he knew his stuff and was so calm and articulate in his delivery of the material. I really enjoyed the day and would recommend. He really connected with the participants and was so responsive to our needs. He was keen for us to apply it to our place of work and gave everyone space to share their views.”
“I really enjoyed David’s structure to the session – the slides and visual diagrams were really helpful in making sense of the content and to help mentalise complex systems/situations – and this was really nicely balanced by his warmth, accessibility and humour. I feel I have tangible diagrams that I can take away and utilize within my organization and I found the individual reflection time really valuable for applying the content – this made it more likely I will do something tangible with the training as it was personalized to me and my learning.”
David Harvey is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Cognitive Analytic Therapy Practitioner working in forensic inpatient and community services in Yorkshire. He has worked for over fifteen years in services supporting people with complex mental health needs, who may pose a risk of harm to others or themselves. This includes work with the NHS, Probation, Courts, Children’s Services and Prisons.
He has a particular interest in how clinical presentations that challenge services, such as those likely to attract diagnosis of ‘Personality Disorder’, can disrupt effective working and proportionate risk management by professionals, services and organisations having to manage their own powerful emotional reactions to the work. David has become increasingly attracted to the idea that the application of psychological theory, including CAT, outside of the therapy room may be one way in which the multiple and complex needs of many stakeholders can be considered and carefully balanced.
He has taught on these subjects for local postgraduate courses and has written a chapter on the topic in the forthcoming Oxford Handbook Of Cognitive Analytic Therapy. This training day is a repeat of a successful face-to-face CPD event in October 2021, and builds upon his stimulating and well-received workshop at the Catalyse 25 Years Celebratory Conference in 2019.
This workshop takes place face-to-face in a spacious room at Redbank House.
