Ian Kerr is a central figure in the CAT community who worked with Anthony Ryle to develop CAT.  Having written numerous books and papers and held posts in Scotland, England and New Zealand, he is perhaps best placed to see where CAT now finds itself, both as an overarching approach and a psychotherapy.  What are the implications for the way ahead in Scotland?
