Our two-day Introductory Workshop aims to offer a basic understanding of the practice and theory of CAT; we will be using a mixture of presentations, small and large group exercises and case discussions. During the Workshop we will:

• Outline what CAT involves, for therapist and patient
• Explain how CAT understands psychological difficulties (including similarities and differences with other major models of therapy)
• Introduce participants to key CAT concepts and methods (such as procedures, reciprocal roles, reformulation letters and diagrams) and give some opportunities to put these into practice
• Show how CAT can be used to treat a variety of psychological and personality problems, and
• Discuss how patient difficulties can affect the wider team, plus how this can be managed using CAT methods.
