This has resulted in a widespread reluctance to treat them and a pessimism about treatment. In the experience of the authors this pessimism is unjustified, because for many patients a relatively brief intervention can be effective in cost-benefit terms as well as human terms. The interventions illustrated here have been used to treat outpatients for 15 years. The results indicate that treatments can achieve clinically significant changes in the course of 16 24 sessions, in a substantial proportion of patients. While CAT shares some ideas and methods with other approaches, it introduces many new features and is uniquely integrated at both the theoretical and practical level. The early joint reformulation of patients problems serves to contain destructiveness and to create a working alliance. Also, the use of reformulation to teach self-reflection and avoid collusive responses from the therapist, throughout the therapy, represents a powerful new technique. The book offers a critical appraisal of current ideas and practices, contrasting with these the ways in which CAT mobilizes the patient s own resources. The authors argue that CAT should have a place in any service seeking to help these difficult patients. From a review of Cognitive Analytic Therapy: Developments in Theory and Practice (Anthony Ryle (Editor), 1995): \"Ryle is surely the most original, productive and interesting writer in psychotherapy in Britain today, and CAT is a remarkable systematizing achievement which deserves to be better known on the other side of the Atlantic This book documenting CAT s recent theoretical and practical developments is a must for anyone interested in CAT itself and in integrative approaches, for those interested in brief, psychodynamically informed therapy, or indeed for those interested in developments in psychology generally.\" Robert Rentoul, British Journal of Medical Psychology\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eINTRODUCTION;\u003cbr\u003e Diagnosis, Course and Prevalence of Borderline Personality Disorder;\u003cbr\u003e The Evolution of Cognitive Analytic Therapy;\u003cbr\u003e The Multiple Self States Model of Borderline Personality Disorder;\u003cbr\u003e A Critical Account of Current Theories of Borderline Pathology and their Clinical Implications;\u003cbr\u003e An Outline of Practice and Two Case Illustrations;\u003cbr\u003e Understanding the Treatment Relationship in Work with Borderline Patients;\u003cbr\u003e Referral, Assessment, Contracting and Containment;\u003cbr\u003e The Early Sessions;\u003cbr\u003e From Reformulation to Termination;\u003cbr\u003e Borderline Personality Disorder and Substance Use Problems;\u003cbr\u003e Cognitive Analytic Therapy of an Offender with Borderline Personality Disorder;\u003cbr\u003e Cognitive Analytic Therapy in Contexts.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52460698796312,"sku":"9780471976189","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471976189.jpg?v=1785458716","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/cognitive-analytic-therapy-and-borderline-personality-disorder-the-model-and-the-method-paperback-softback-9780471976189","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
