CAT, Past, Present and Future: The Legacy of Tony Ryle
(1927-2016)
10th March 2017, 9.30am to 6pm
Regent’s University, London
The Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy would like to invite you to join us at a one day conference in memory of Tony
Ryle, and to celebrate his great contribution of Cognitive Analytic Therapy.
The programme will be a mixture of remembering Tony Ryle, his ideas about therapy and the early days of the development
of the model, and also some new ways of working and new applications of CAT. Those who knew Tony Ryle, or heard him
speak, will know that he would never have wanted the model to be fixed in stone but to be a continuously evolving way of
making therapy more accessible to anyone in distress, particular those with limited resources of their own. As such, we hope
that the day will alternate between looking back and remembering, and looking forward to new developments and diversity.
Confirmed themes and speakers so far:
“Tony Ryle - Innovator and Educator”
Donald Bermingham
Anna Jellema
“Tony Ryle on Beginnings and Endings”
Lawrence Welch
Steve Potter and Alison Jenaway
Dahlia Maslin
“Tony Ryle as Researcher”
Professor Glenys Parry
Steve Kellett
“Tony Ryle as Clinician”
Annalee Curran
Dupe Adu-White
Nick Barnes
At the end of the formal part of the day, from 5pm to 6pm, there is an opportunity for a more informal collection of brief
creative presentations (around 3 to 5 minutes each) so do get in touch if you would like to book a slot to talk about a memory
of Tony, read a poem, sing a song, or whatever.
I am also hoping that all of those who knew Tony, or met him, will send me either a brief video clip of their memories of
Tony, or a written reflection of him and his influence. Some of these may be used as part of the conference presentation, but
as many as possible will be put together to create a memorial archive to be kept by ACAT. Videos should be just 2 or 3
minutes long and pieces of writing just one side of A4. Both should be emailed to [email protected] or posted to
ACAT, PO Box 6793, Dorchester, Dorset, DT1 9DL.
There will also be an opportunity for people to bring a “Goodbye Postcard” to be displayed at the conference so do choose
an image that represents your feelings about this sad loss and write your comments on the back. These will be displayed at
the conference and then collected together to form a memorial book at the end of the conference.
Alison Jenaway, on behalf of the organising committee.
