Psychoanalytic psychotherapy (PP) is a therapeutic process which helps patients understand and resolve their problems by increasing awareness of their inner world and its influence over relationships both past and present. It differs from most other therapies in aiming for deep seated change in personality and emotional development.

Brief Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (BPP) is based on the principles of transference-based psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The objectives of a brief intervention are to understand a patient in terms of his/her repeating patterns of relatedness and relationship, as expressed in the here-and-now.
This therapeutic stance is active in that it requires the therapist, throughout such treatments, to keep the therapeutic focus and treatment duration continually in mind and to use his/her techniques (interpretation, clarification, etc.) accordingly. Typical duration is 6 months to a year of weekly sessions.
Dr. Ruth Manasseh studied this at the Brief Psychotherapy Guild. The concept of Brief Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy also informed her pioneering research.
“I trained and practiced CAT in the British NHS (Hertfordshire Partnership). CAT is working together in an empathetic relationship between the client and therapist within therapeutic boundaries, the purpose of which are to help you look at the way you think, feel and act.
We look at events and relationships that underlie these experiences (often from childhood or earlier in life).
CAT brings together techniques and methodologies from effective cognitive and psychoanalytic therapies and typically lasts for around 16 sessions”. Dr. Ruth Manasseh
