One Day CAT Workshop
The Six Part Story
Thursday 13 May 2010
9:30 am to 4:30 pm
The 6-part story method (6PSM) is a structured method for co-creating a new, fictional
story with a client in psychotherapy. The idea is that the themes, relationships, problems
and coping strategies in the story will tell us something about the client’s inner life. The
story provides a fund of language and metaphor which can be useful in subsequent
work with the client, as well as forming part of an initial assessment. The approach has
been the subject of some preliminary research to establish reliability, validity and
acceptability. The 6PSM fits particularly well with the practice of Cognitive Analytic
Therapy (CAT) and can be useful with patients who are hard to reach, or who struggle
to put feelings into words.
This course is suitable for applicants with a prior knowledge and familiarity with the CAT
model.
Led by: Kim Dent-Brown Kim originally trained as an Occupational Therapist
and then as a Dramatherapist, and has spent most of his working life in mental
health settings in the National Health Service. He is now in the final year of
training as a CAT practitioner. His NHS job is in an NHS psychotherapy
department specialising in working with people with complex psychological
problems (personality disorders.) As a dramatherapist he became particularly
interested in a projective storymaking technique known as the 6-Part Story
Method (6PSM).
