Cognitive-analytic Therapy - Active Participation in Change by Anthony Ryle

Cognitive-analytic Therapy - Active Participation in Change by Anthony Ryle

Cognitive-analytic therapy (CAT), is an integrated model for understanding neurotic and personality disorders and for conducting psychotherapy. It could be described as the application of psychoanalytic understanding and of some psychoanalytic techniques within a framework, and with additional treatment methods derived from cognitive psychology and psychotherapy. This book is a guide to the use of CAT in clinical work, and also addresses the underlying theoretical issues. The ideas and methods are illustrated with a large amount of case description, with writing from therapists and patients, and with some directly recorded material from sessions.

ANTHONY RYLE, DM (Oxon), was a Consultant Psychotherapist at St. Thomas' Hospital, London, having initially worked as an inner London GP, and then as Director of Sussex University Health Service. As a GP, he undertook clinical research in mental health and developed an interest in psychotherapy integration, which ultimately led to the development of CAT. After his retirement from St. Thomas', he remained actively involved in teaching, supervision and research in the NHS and through the UK Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) until his passing in 2016.

IAN B. KERR, MD (Edin), has been a Consultant Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist in the NHS in London, Sheffield, and Lanarkshire in the UK, and currently works in Northland, New Zealand-Aotearoa. He undertook a range of psychotherapy trainings including in CAT with Anthony Ryle, with whom he worked closely over many years. His clinical and research interests centre around working with 'severe and complex' and 'difficult' presentations, including systemically and cross-culturally. He has taught on and been trainer for many CAT courses in the UK and internationally.
