ACAT with CAT South West will be hosting a CPD event at Exeter Library with Jason Hepple, Chair of ACAT, as the guest speaker.  This is a wonderful opportunity for CAT therapists throughout the South West to expand your CAT network, hear latest news and information about CAT locally and nationally - and of course to meet up with CAT colleagues in a relaxed and stimulating environment over a light lunch.

You will help develop the CAT model as a way of working with a group of disorders that have within them ‘overvalued ideas’ – almost delusional, fixed and demanding ideas concerning weight, body image or obsessional fears. These ideas seem paramount to the client and in some ways are ‘off the map’ and not open to dialogue. Where does this leave the therapist? What is the driving force behind the persistence of these ideas? Why is it that ‘more is more’?

Suitable for those with some CAT experience.

Dr Jason Hepple MA (Oxon) FRCPsych, CAT Psychotherapist and Trainer; Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust; Chair of the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT). Jason has written, taught and spoken internationally on CAT in later life, on dialogic theory in CAT and has developed the CAT model for working in groups using a more dialogic rather than psychoeducational approach. He is interested in developing CAT for a group of disorders that are difficult to help like anorexia, OCD and dysmorphic syndrome.
