Therapy With A Map: A Cognitive Analytic Approach to Helping Relationships

Overview

A therapeutic relationship is a web of interactions, tasks and processes in space and time. It is not easy to stay aware of the relationship in the thick of helping someone, but doing so boosts flexibility and enables deeper formulation. A therapist who can be attentive not only to activities specific to the model, but also to common factors underlying all therapy (or in simple terms, balance a task and person focus) has a far greater chance of enabling change. Building on thirty years of theory and practice in the field of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), yet speaking directly to practitioners across all therapeutic modalities, Brief Therapy Relationships explores the complex relationships that shape and contribute to therapeutic change. In doing so, it arms readers with a deeper understanding of what it means to be part of a therapeutic relationship, leading to increased control and confidence when working with clients.
