Creativity can be vital to mental health and well-being. Featuring case accounts from therapeutic journeys that have used creative approaches, Creativity and Cognitive Analytic Therapy explores how both novice and seasoned CAT therapists can engage relationally with their creative selves and in doing so enable a more open and flexible exploration with their clients and trainees. The book is structured in three parts. The first sets the scene by discussing creativity and play as an aspect of mental health. The second considers the creative as a freestanding therapeutic approach in forms such as dramatherapy and imagery work, or as a nonverbal means for accessing, expressing and healing trauma – with detailed techniques that can be integrated into practice. The final part looks at a variety of ways in which individual trainers and supervisors have merged their own interests and gifts with the CAT framework.
Yvonne J. Stevens is Senior Lecturer in CAT at the University of Exeter, where she is also Lead for CAT Accreditation, ACAT Exeter Foundation Course Director, and CAT Course Convenor for the DClinPsy program. She teaches creativity to trainees in CAT, psychology and psychiatry. Yvonne trained in CAT with Tony Ryle at St Thomas’ Hospital from 1989-1995. She has been a CAT therapist, psychotherapy lecturer and training supervisor in the NHS for thirty years, and also works in private practice. She has a longstanding role as Associate Lecturer and assessor on the RCPsych Psychotherapy Module with the Peninsula Medical School. Yvonne’s primary interest is in bringing creativity to psychotherapy, supervision and training. She has supervised, taught and assessed trainees throughout the southwest on all levels of CAT training courses, and she co-convenes an annual national residential training event for CAT trainers and supervisors.
