Description
Cognitive Analytic Therapy for People with Intellectual Disabilities and Their Carers by Philip Clayton and Julie Lloyd provides a practical guide to using this approach with individuals with intellectual disabilities. This book explores how CAT can be used to encourage change through healthier relationships, considering the typical patterns of behavior that developed in the past and how they can be revised in a more constructive direction. The authors offer straightforward explanations of how CAT may be applied with people with intellectual disabilities, along with adapted tools specifically designed for this client group. Case examples and contributions from experienced clinicians are also included to illustrate the effectiveness of this approach. This book is an essential resource for professionals working with individuals with intellectual disabilities, including psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, and support workers. By exploring CAT in detail, this book aims to equip readers with the knowledge and skills needed to provide effective therapy for people with intellectual disabilities.
