Rafi, Ann Treesa; Prabalkumari, Sivakami Suresh
- Abstract
This article explores the need for innovative approaches to psychotherapy in India, specifically in terms of adapting existing models and introducing new ones that are culturally and socially responsive. It introduces Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) as a potential model that can be used in the Indian context, emphasizing its transdiagnostic and whole-person approach. The article provides case examples to illustrate how CAT can be applied in therapy sessions, highlighting the importance of a collaborative and authentic therapeutic relationship. It also acknowledges the challenges of implementing psychotherapy in a system with limited access to trained professionals and calls for further research on the effectiveness of CAT in the Indian population.
