Title: Cognitive Analytic viewpoints
Product review: This book is written for the small group of folks who are Cognitive Analytic therapists CAT. It has a well meaning and workmanlike apprach but its not very user friendly, but analytic appraoches tend not to be. There is something dated about the analytical approach to early life experince. Murray Cox work with offenders in Brooadmoor is analytical but has more clarity and I found it more inspiring. The supposed integration of Freudian analysis and CBT always seems a bit lumpy. The CAT dilemmas traps and snags just seem very thin after Wards five implicit beliefs that inform offending.Good lives are raised at the start, it seems to me Wards Good lives theory and Narrative therapy is a neater and cleaner integration. I was dissapointed.
