ICATA Plenary
'National histories, identities and colours of CAT'

Marie-Anne Bernardy, Andrew Chanen and Steve Potter
Three thirty minute presentations looking at the future range of theory and practice in CAT:
'If I work with the mother will the child get better?' Marie-Anne Bernardy is a psychologist and psychotherapist in Paris working with children and families.  She trained in CAT in the UK.  Marie-Anne will take her argument further that if you work with the parent the child will get better.  In this way she will theorise, with examples, how trauma is transfered and carried in the relational space between mother and child.
'Comparing three forms of early intervention for youth with borderline personality disorder (the MOBY study)'  Professor Andrew Chanen is Deputy Director, Research and Head, Personality Disorder Research at Orygen in Melbourne.  Andrew will present for half an hour on the development of the second research trial and the difference between relational casework and CAT.
'Reciprocal roles - mapping the mother of all ideas'  Steve Potter is a psychotherapist based in London and focuses on the process of mapping as a co-creative therapeutic relational activity that gets us alongside the roots of our beliefs and patterns of interaction.  He will present for half an hour on an entertaining and forward-looking review of the reciprocal role concept and show it is at the heart of the future development of CAT whether in the field of psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology or identity theory.  Steve will use maps of vignette examples to show how versatile the Reciprocal Role idea is and how much it touches the core of our emotional development, eg 'mother of all ideas'.

Stephen Kellett, Kate Freshwater, Katie Ackroyd, Adam Freear, and Jayne Finch

Workshops
The theme of the conference workshops this year is 'Working Creatively with Complexity: CAT theory and practice'. Workshops will focus on the application of CAT tools and skills to working with complexity, with an emphasis on theory practice links, skills learning, and therapist self-care, particularly when therapists find it hard to help.  They will be organised around three streams:
* The therapeutic relationship: working with, and resolving, impasses and ruptures in the therapeutic relationship
* Creative ways of working in CAT
* Nurturing self-care as a therapist

Call for Papers has now closed.

Delegate booking for workshops now open.  Please note, it will be possible to book into your chosen workshop(s) only once booked to attend the Conference.

09:30 - 10:45  Keynote Speaker:  Prof. Mikael Leiman ~ 'Reformulation and referential networks' (Chair: Ian Kerr)
Abstract:  A long-standing theoretical problem in CAT is the relationship of sign-mediation to the concepts of reciprocal roles and procedural sequences.  My earlier (1996) attempt to reconcile roles and procedures by the idea of dialogical sequences did not solve the problem of signs as mediators of our mental activity. The problem can be located in the dialogic, or Bakhtinian, understanding of signs.  I will present my current understanding of signs as referential networks.  The implications of the new conception range from understanding very early development to issues of attention, memory, and the relationship between cognitive and emotional processes.
10:45 - 11:15  Refreshments
11:15 - 12:20  Plenary Speaker:  Dr Jason Hepple ~ 'A relational model of the psyche' (Chair: Ian Kerr)
Abstract:  CAT has evolved into a relational psychotherapy where the dialogic self is an un-finalised work in progress that is co-created through its inter-psychic activity. ‘We interact and communicate therefore I become,’ as Tony Ryle said.  Jason will seek to address the following questions arising from this: How does a dialogic self relate to the topographical models of the psyche from psychoanalysis? What is CAT’s understanding of conscious and unconscious process? How does dialogism relate to advances in neurobiology and trauma? Where is mindfulness and ‘inner peace’ to be found relationally?

Friday 22nd September
(Registration from 08:00 for new delegates only)
07:15 - 08:00  Early morning Mindfulness with Liz McCormick 
08:50 - 09:15  Welcome to day and Culture Shot ~ 'Poetry', Liz McCormick (UK), Louise McCutcheon and Reem Ramadan (Australia)
09:15 - 10:30  Keynote speaker:  Prof. Richard Lane ~ 'Memory Reconsolidation, Emotional Arousal and the Process of Change in Psychotherapy:  New Insights from Brain Science' (Chair: Jason Hepple)
Abstract:  The thesis of this talk is that enduring change in all major psychotherapy modalities, including behavioural therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, emotion-focused and psychodynamic psychotherapy, results from the updating of prior emotional memories through a process of reconsolidation that incorporates new emotional experiences. An integrative memory model with three interactive components – autobiographical (event) memories, semantic structures, and emotional responses - will be presented supported by emerging evidence from cognitive neuroscience on implicit and explicit emotion, implicit and explicit memory, emotion-memory interactions, memory reconsolidation, and the relationship between autobiographical and semantic memory. The proposed essential ingredients of therapeutic change include:  1) reactivating old memories; 2) engaging in new emotional experiences that are incorporated into these reactivated memories via the process of reconsolidation; and 3) reinforcing the integrative memory structure by practicing a new way of behaving and experiencing the world in a variety of contexts.
Implications of this new neurobiologically-grounded synthesis for research, clinical practice and teaching will be discussed.  
Objectives:  At the conclusion of this presentation audience members will be able to 1) describe the integrated memory model consisting of concurrent activation and interaction between emotional arousal, episodic memory and semantic structures; 2) discuss how behavioural, cognitive-behavioural, emotion-focused and psychodynamic psychotherapies access the integrated memory model from different entry points; 3) explain how emotional arousal and memory reconsolidation are necessary ingredients of change in all major forms of psychotherapy; 4) describe how the “working through” process consists of the conversion of episodic memories into semantic structures. 
10:30 - 11:00  Refreshments
11:00 - 12:00  Keynote speakers:  Prof. Nicola Clayton FRS and Clive Wilkins ~ 'The Creative Navigator's Compass:  Exploring the subjective nature of perception and memory' (Chair: Jason Hepple)
Abstract:  If we could tell you where you were going and how you could get there, would you want to know?
Imagine a crystal ball that could anticipate the future:  Would you gaze into it, and if you did, what do you think you would see - your personal future, the futures of your loved ones, or other aspects of life and society?  How does the direction of thought affect perception and choices of where to go next?  In planning for the future, it is all too easy to make the assumption that what we imagine and remember will accurately reflect reality.  Many of our greatest deceptions evolve out of such a faulty supposition.
The chances are that if there were such a crystal ball, we would be unlikely to make sense of what it revealed.  Both perception and memory shimmer and change, and can be altered by our current point of view and state of mind. Alternative realities are constrained by our inability to perceive all that can be seen.  Memories are not an accurate repository of what has happened, and thoughts of the future are often inaccurate and ill conceived, due to the subjective nature of perception and memory.
Nicky and Clive, a scientist and artist respectively, explore the complex relationships between memory, perception and human experience.  Join them for a fascinating interactive presentation that incorporates science, literature, and the performing arts.

15:30 - 16:45  Plenary Speaker:  Dr Caroline Dower ~ 'Moving Memories:  The use of movement interventions to facilitate the development of agency and procedural change' (Chair: Tim Sheard)
Abstract:  Caroline will explore the kinetic and kinaesthetic aspects of memory.  The relational dance of the bodies of the therapist and client reflect relational history as it is lived in the present moment. Bringing awareness to the movement patterns within a talking therapy contributes to reflective capacity and development of our self-agency.  Clinical vignettes will demonstrate the role for movement as a bridge from procedural to semantic memory, and as a playground for the emergence of new relational choices.

Saturday 23rd September
(Registration from 08:30 for new delegates only)
09:00 - 09:15  Welcome to day and Culture Shot ~ 'Portraits', Carol Gregory and Alison Jenaway (UK)
09:15 - 10:45  Plenary Speakers:  Debby Pickvance, Annie Nehmad and Jessie Emilion ~ ‘CAT Supervision: new ideas, new practice’ (Chair: Yvonne Stevens)
Abstract:  Though supervision has always firmly underpinned CAT therapy, it has not been widely discussed within the CAT community.  This session draws on new ideas contained in the multi-voiced book, 'Cognitive Analytic Supervision' (2017, Routledge).  It consists of three presentations followed by small group work.  Each will offer new perspectives on CAT supervision, useful and relevant for supervisors and supervisees alike.
Debby Pickvance:  'How relational is our supervision?' - This presentation will propose a relational model of CAT supervision, built on open, interactive, mutual, intersubjective relationships between supervisor, supervisee and supervision group.  It will advocate a proactive approach to building the supervisory alliance, establishing a relational supervision contract, addressing enactments within the supervisory relationship, and making use of the self by supervisor, supervisee, and supervision group members.
Annie Nehmad:  'The Healthy Supervisor' - The qualities, skills and activity of an effective (healthy) supervisor are considered in CAT terms, as well as drawing on Hawkins and Shohet’s Seven Eyed Model of Supervision, John Heron’s analysis of interventions, and Daniel Siegel’s Inter Personal Neurobiology (IPNB).  In addition to being competent and knowledgeable, the Healthy Supervisor needs to be well-integrated in the moment, so that s/he can offer real “presence”, i.e. awareness and receptivity.  Supervision offers ‘scaffolding’ not only for inexperienced therapists, but also for experienced ones who may have become temporarily poorly integrated (usually due to 'recruitment’ by the patient into a split-off state).
Jessie Emilion:  '“In our Culture”- a dialogic procedure in supervision' - Culture, Race, Language, and Religion play a key part in the development of self, personality, and identity.  Race and racism often create a sense of alienation and exclusion in individuals and in minority communities. Language, as central to communication plays a crucial part in the expression of distress, and but also in the integration, positioning and acculturation of the individual in society.  For many people not being able to speak the language of the host culture compounds the sense of alienation, loss, and displacement. Religion in its varied roles, is another key element when working across cultures and communities.  Working across cultures, inter-culturally be it in therapy or supervision can be quite challenging even for most experienced clinicians and supervisors. What if I get it wrong?  Will I be labelled a racist, a troublemaker with attitude or just as an incompetent clinician?  These are some of the fears in every clinician’s mind.  
The presentation will highlight some of the key themes that have emerged from CAT training in India.  It will offer some pointers as to how the supervisees and supervisors could address difference and diversity in a sensitive, professional, and ethical manner in their clinical work.  CAT concepts will be used to discuss the power dynamics and intergenerational positioning, on an inter-personal, intra-personal, and societal level.
The presentation will be followed by a group exercise facilitated by Hilary Brown.  Through fun and play there will be an opportunity to recognise and name the power dynamics and positioning in the interactions.
10:45 - 11:15  Refreshments
11:15 - 12:45  Plenary Speakers:  Marie-Anne Bernardy, Andrew Chanen and Steve Potter ~ Three thirty minute presentations looking at the future range of theory and practice in CAT ~ 'If I work with the mother will the child get better?' Marie-Anne Bernardy; 'Comparing three forms of early intervention for youth with borderline personality disorder (the MOBY study)' Professor Andrew Chanen; 'Reciprocal roles-mapping the mother of all ideas' Steve Potter (Chair: Katri Kanninen)
