Events and CPD

ACAT promotes and supports a number of events aimed at ACAT members and those interested in Cognitive Analytic Therapy. Some of the events are specifically targetted to meet the needs of practising CAT therapists, others are more wide-ranging in subject but may still be useful to CAT therapists or others with a general interest in psychotherapy.
