CAT is a model of therapy that can treat the full range of problems or diagnoses and so it is very versatile. It uses reciprocal roles as a base to understand relationship dynamics a person has within themselves, others and with the world around them. Behavioural patterns, and emotional responses are understood alongside this. This is collaboratively mapped out and can allow for a rapid shift in a persons understanding of themself. CAT is flexible and other types of therapies or therapy tools can be borrowed and used within the scaffolding of the CAT model adding to its effectiveness.
