This one-day CPD workshop offers a chance to explore a distinctively CAT approach to the dynamics and therapeutic uses of transference.  Its focus is on the push and pull of the feelings and emotional roles in the interpersonal relationship, social dynamics and intersubjective spaces within, between and around the client and therapist.  

Mapping conversationally or reflectively with pen and paper can help externalise and have one foot in and one foot out of complex processes of transference and counter transference.

General and CAT specific understanding of Transference will be reviewed, and participants will work with a transference ‘dance’ checklist with some sample maps and use these to map out their own unique experience. The workshop concludes with a letter to our professional and personal selves titled Dear Transference awareness this is how you are going to help me in my work and with my therapeutic style.     

This workshop will be of value to both those who feel this is a neglected area of their practice and those who feel familiar with the central role of transference in CAT but would like to refresh and stretch their work in supervision from a relational and psychodynamic point of view.  

The workshop will be co facilitated by Steve Potter and Amy Thomson. 

  • Steve Potter has been using pen and paper conversations to enhance his use of CAT's conceptual tools for three decades. He uses bits of mapping and writing in voice focused ways to help him work through the unformulated emotions coming up in therapy.  He is a past chair of ACAT, the first chair of ICATA and has taught CAT widely in the UK and Internationally. He is the author of two books on CAT. www.mapandtalk.com
