A Beginner's Guide to Cognitive Analytic Therapy offers a comprehensive introduction to conducting Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) on a one-to-one basis. Developed in partnership with service users who have lived experience of CAT, this guide provides a straightforward, beginner's approach to practicing CAT.
Grounded in CAT theory, the book covers the key stages of the therapy, including assessment, building a therapeutic relationship, and monitoring progress. It also features first-hand accounts from CAT-experienced service users, offering a unique perspective on the model and its impact on wellbeing.
Useful for trainee practitioners, assistant and trainee clinical/counselling psychologists, and those practising CAT-informed therapy in supervision, this book provides a clear and accessible guide to conducting CAT in clinical practice.
