A brief Introduction to Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT)
This self-paced online introduction to Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) takes around 2–3 hours when you pause video and use the reflective activity worksheets provided. The video is 50 minutes if you choose to view without the reflective activities. This brief introduction offers an accessible way to begin exploring CAT as a relational and integrative approach to therapy. It provides an overview of the history and theory of CAT and its application using fictional character from 'The Simpsons', Marge Simpson.
It is designed to give you an informative and playful case example so you can think more about how you may want to apply CAT thinking in your work and its a 'taster' of what you could delve more into, whether it be more reading, a CAT skills course or the 2 year CAT practitioner course.
The course includes approximately 1 hour of pre-recorded teaching that introduces the origins of CAT, how it has developed, and why it continues to be so relevant in practice today. You’ll be guided through CAT’s way of understanding change through reformulation, recognition and revision (the 3 R’s), and the central idea of reciprocal roles. The focus is on how CAT is used collaboratively to make sense of relational patterns that may feel stuck, and how people can begin to find ways of relating that feel more flexible and workable.
Throughout the lecture, there are five reflective pause points inviting you to consider how CAT might fit with your own work and the people you support. PowerPoint slides and 2 reflective worksheets are provided to support your learning, along with a brief quiz. On completion, a certificate of attendance is issued. Once registered you have access for 4 weeks.
