About the Authors

Anthony Ryle qualified in medicine in 1949 and worked successively as a founding member of an inner city group practice, in Kentish Town, London, as Director of Sussex University Health Service and as a Consultant Psychotherapist at St. Thomas's Hospital, London. After retiring from the NHS he worked part‐time in teaching and research at Guy's Hospital. While in general practice he carried out epidemiological studies of the patients under his care and the experience of demonstrating the high prevalence and family associations of psychological distress influenced his subsequent interest in the development of forms of psychological treatment which could realistically be provided in the NHS. Studies of the process and outcome of psychotherapy followed, and from these grew the elaboration of an integrated psychotherapy theory and the development of the time‐limited model of treatment which became cognitive analytic therapy. He died in September 2016.
