Using CAT as an organising framework, the dedicated specialist NHS community service at Spring House offers a model for CAT and CAT-informed therapeutic responses to working with people who attract a diagnosis of severe ‘personality disorder’ or complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), living in community settings. The presenting team are keen to share their experiences, instil hope and promote good practice for this under-served client group.
This day will provide participants with an understanding of the theory and practice of working with those attracting such diagnoses, plus more indirect consultative work with the teams and services around them.
Participants will benefit from presentations about both underpinning CAT theory and practical applications within the Spring House approach. There will be opportunity for group discussion and exercises, live supervision of clinical dilemmas, and open questions.
