Therapy with adults who were abused emotionally, physically or sexually in childhood is difficult and harrowing. The therapist may experience frustration, disillusion and disappointment, which often give away to a realisation and admiration of the endurance and creativity which these people displayed as children in surviving such abuse. Therapists need little motivation to develop new approaches for these clients, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is such an approach. CAT is a brief, collaborative, client-centred approach which is gaining support for the understanding and treatment of man.
