The client whose problems meet DSM-5® criteria a for personality disorder can be the most difficult client on your caseload to treat.

In this seminar, learn strategies to assess and manage the most treatment resistant conditions. Reduce treatment failures and overcome the biggest obstacles to successful treatment outcomes.

Drawing from the most recent outcome literature, clinical trials, case studies and clinical experience, Dr. Jeff Riggenbach presents an integrated approach for dealing with these difficult clients. Leave with specific and practical strategies that you can use in your clinical setting immediately.
