Case-Series Examination of a Brief CAT-Informed Intervention for Young People Experiencing Difficulties With Eating (RIDE)

The therapy draws upon the principles of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), focussing on collaboratively identifying relational patterns (relationships with self and others) that young people experience difficulties with. The young person will be invited to attend 5 weekly sessions, each lasting 30-50 minutes. It will be delivered within a seven-week window (allowing for cancellations/missed sessions). Researchers will follow the RIDE manual treatment guide, which was developed by Clinical Psychologists, CAT accredited therapists and researchers.
