Description

  • Therapy strategies for specific personality disorders
  • Manage suicidality, self-injurious behavior and violence so that nobody gets hurt
  • Learn the hidden agendas of each of the personality disorders
  • Assess the efficacy of evidence-based treatment including DBT and CBT

The client whose problems meet the DSM-IV-TR® and upcoming DSM-5® criteria for personality disorder can be the most difficult client in your caseload to treat. They may require more time in therapy, more energy and involvement on your part, experience a greater number of life crises, and create more upset with their family, work, and social systems than virtually any other diagnostic group. Often being “sent” for therapy rather than choosing therapy, their motivation for change may be limited and their personality disorder is likely co-morbid with other exacerbating disorders.

Join Dr. Sharon Freeman, author and experienced clinician in the treatment of personality disorders, who has published books and numerous articles on personality disorders and lectured extensively throughout the United States, and take home an integrated approach for working with these challenging clients.

Take home:

  • Evidence-based skills for successful treatment
  • Techniques to assess and treat comorbid personality
  • A framework for treatment planning
  • Skills to assist the client toward greater coping and adaptation

OUTLINE

I. Learn the DSM-5® Personality Disorder System

  • Attachment-the lifelong problem
  • Personality pathology: genes vs. family vs. friends vs. fate
  • Personality disorders
  • Spectrum or category
  • Discrete or complex
  • Bump in the road or end of the line
  • Why can’t we all just get along?

II. “It’s All About Me.” The Challenge of the Hidden Agenda

  • The core of the personality disorder: The unchanging agenda
  • A review of the DSM-5® personality disorders and their agendas:

    • Schizotypal
    • Narcissistic
    • Antisocial (and Psychopaths!)

    • Trait Specified (PDTS) What is that?
    • General Criteria for Personality Disorders
    • Levels of Personality Functioning
    • Personality Trait Domains

III. Actually, It’s All About You

  • Transference & Countertransference
  • What does transference and countertransference look like in our work?
  • Boundary crossings and boundary violations
  • How to tell when you are headed for disaster and how to intervene

IV. What Works and What Doesn’t With Personality Disorders

  • Polypharmacy and the borderline client
  • DBT, CBT and all the rest-which therapy for whom? What’s the evidence and what’s the truth
  • Generic, but incredibly useful, therapy strategies for each disorder
  • Are some disorders hopeless?

V. Nobody Gets Hurt: Violence, Suicide & Manipulation

  • The frustration of recurrent suicidal behavior
  • Suicide risk assessment
