Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

241
Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions.

This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Area of Science:

  • Psychotherapy
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Mental Health Practice

Background:

  • Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is a structured psychotherapy.
  • A clear definition of competences is needed for consistent CAT delivery.
  • Existing literature and expert opinion informed the framework development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a competence framework for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT).
  • To outline the core knowledge, skills, and meta-competences required for CAT.
  • To enhance understanding of CAT delivery for various stakeholders.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an evidence-based method (Roth & Pilling, 2008).
  • Reviewed CAT outcome literature for evidence of efficacy.
  • Consulted standard CAT texts and an expert reference group (ERG).

Main Results:

  • A competence framework was created, structured into core knowledge, core skills, and meta-competences.
  • Identified five CAT-specific domains of competence.
  • Competences align with CAT's three-phase structure: reformulation, recognition, and revision.

Conclusions:

  • Core competences for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) can be defined.
  • The framework clarifies essential skills for effective CAT practice.
  • It supports trainees, service users, managers, and commissioners in understanding CAT delivery.
