This event is Fully Booked.

WARNING! This event has passed.

This new and intensive two and half day residential course is designed for trainee CAT supervisors, or CAT practitioners with 16 cases completed, who are thinking of training  in supervision.  For trainee supervisors it offers a newly agreed, ACAT approved alternative to sitting in with a senior supervisor*.  The course may also be an opportunity for qualified and experienced supervisors to look more intensively at their own practice as part of their CPD.

*updated guidelines on supervisor training and the latest recommendations from the Training Committee will be available on the ACAT website soon.

The course will offer:

• Demonstrations of and practice in the core personal and professional skills in being a relational CAT supervisor
• Opportunities to explore personal aspects of professional competence as a CAT practitioner and supervisor
• Reflection upon the theory in practice of the ‘dialogic and analytic’ understanding unique to CAT’s relational supervision.
• A framework for ongoing reflective, relational practice as a CAT supervisor whether directly for individual therapy or indirectly with staff teams and individuals.

Skills practice and supervision of the key aspects of CAT will be demonstrated step by step through role play by the trainers followed by role play in small groups of three by the participants.   This skills work will be alternated with personal reflection groups which will explore common enactments in the role of CAT supervisor. Issues relating to being active, authoritative and flexible within the zone of the supervisee’s learning will be explored.  There will be two key presentations relating to CAT supervision on the topic of multiplicity (Liz Fawkes) and therapeutic moments (Steve Potter) in the context of a dialogical and analytic approach to relational skills in the supervision of CAT.   Part of the ethos of the course will be the shared experience of being a community of supervisors committed to CAT.    Participants will bring details of a recent or current case, with which they are familiar, as the basis of role play. 

The course is run by Liz Fawkes and Steve Potter.  See further information attached.
