Overview of workshop
This event includes two half days:
The morning session Power and Powerlessness: Exploring Race and Culture in Therapy will provide a safe space to discuss and explore therapeutic issues linked to race and culture, using the relational CAT framework as scaffolding. It will combine presentation, large and small group discussion, and clinical case scenarios. For more details of the first part of the day, click on this link.
The afternoon session Working With Interpreters, Bilingualism and CAT will provide opportunities to explore bilingualism and the use of primary and secondary language in therapy. The complexities of the triadic relationship when working with an interpreter will be discussed within a CAT framework. For more details of the second part of the day, click on this link.
This day incorporates the first two events in an Inclusive CAT series of full and half day CPD events focussing on CAT practice in the context of equality, diversity and intersectionality. These aim to support CAT therapists in working sensitively and effectively with individuals and client groups with protected characteristics. .
