In Dialogue hosts a journal club for professionals interested in CAT, its theoretical underpinnings and exploring its applicability to their work.

This package has put the education around relational formulation skills within the consultations. Many teams prefer to learn within their own work context using their own experience of service provision. The consultations will involve some education and theory about how to use CAT principles alongside real-life case and use of tools. The aim of the consultations is for the team or group to be able to apply the relational framework independently, within their own work, once the consultations cease. The consultations can be adapted depending on the needs of the service/team.

Aims of the consultation package can be adapted depending on the amount and time the service requires or can resource.

A two-day training program (15 hours)  involving theory and experiential activities. This training will provide a brief overview of the relational elements of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and how these can be used to formulate collaboratively with team and client. This training promotes skills in formulating using the relationship and what we can feel pulled to enact, allowing room for the clinician/worker and system to adopt a relational approach that is engaging and therapeutic.

With option: Ten consultations

Weekly 1–3 hr consultations via face to face or web-based platform (Zoom or Co Viu ) for a group of participants. Each meeting will use real life cases bought by participants to formulate using the theory of relational framework discussed in the two-day training. These consultations seek to consolidate the learning from the 2 day training within the work context.
