Welcome to ACAT
Read our latest edition of Reformulation FREE
The pandemic has catalysed our Editorial Board to offer this first electronic edition of Reformulation free to public domain access. We invite you to share this gift beyond the CAT world and continue to invite reflection grounded in the course of the everyday.
Welcome to the website for the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT), a registered charity. We welcome members of the public, health professionals, ACAT accredited professionals, and anyone interested in finding out more about CAT. We hope the following pages will inform and inspire and, for those new to Cognitive Analytic Therapy, encourage further interest and, perhaps, even training in CAT.
The website offers an introduction to Cognitive Analytic Therapy, a collaborative programme for looking at the way a person thinks, feels and acts, and the events and relationships that underlie these experiences - often from childhood or earlier in life.
Coronavirus and ACAT events
We are regularly monitoring updates from the Government in relation to events and coronavirus. Should it be necessary for ACAT to cancel an event, we will notify delegates as soon as we are able within our normal working hours and the event fee will be refunded. We would advise you not to arrange travel in advance as ACAT cannot offer refunds for other expenses incurred.
Please contact local group organisers in respect of non-ACAT events.
Coronavirus and ACAT training courses
For trainees currently involved in CAT training, click on the following link for information on the changes and adaptations to our training requirements during the period of lockdown and social distancing due to Covid-19. This also includes information on the paperless accreditation submission process for the June 2020 Exam Board onwards. Course Directors will also provide additional course-specific information.
