AnnotationCognitive analytic therapy (CAT) has developed a reputation as an effective and flexible therapy for use with individuals who are more disturbed, or display "borderline" traits, such as: chronic feelings of emptiness; unstable, intense relationships; identity disturbance, notably syndromes of self-neglect; and self-damaging or self-mutilating behaviours. The article demonstrates what CAT has to offer in our understanding of older people who exhibit borderline traits. It can facilitate containment and reduction of distress in both the older individuals and those involved with them. (RH).
