From the Back Cover

Introducing Cognitive Analytic Therapy is a systematic, up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to the origin, development and practice of CAT. Since its initial presentation as a model of individual psychotherapy, CAT has grown to represent a general theory of psychological development and change, reflecting in particular the influence of Vygotsky.

Economical in cost and applicable to a wide spectrum of disorders, CAT is now widely used by a range of mental health service providers. The practice of CAT has been extended to different settings and patient groups, most notably in the area of Borderline Personality Disorder.
