Cognitive Analytic Therapy by Anthony Ryle

Cognitive Analytic Therapy by Anthony Ryle

Cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) is growing rapidly in the extent of its application in clinical situations and in the development of new theoretical ideas and therapeutic methods. Using case histories and accounts of the application of CAT to particular patient groups, this study also describes the application of CAT's basic approach, devised for individual therapy, to couples and groups. CAT is a unique approach but its derivation from, and links with, other psychotherapy methods and theories continues to be addressed. The relation of CAT to group therapy, cognitive therapy and systems theory approaches are considered by practitioners trained in these fields. Finally, training and supervision are considered in ways which have implications for others concerned with teaching psychotherapy.

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.
