Wondering if one of your clients has a personality disorder? Anxious about how to treat such clients? Unsure about assessment? Are the condiions treatable? Can anxiety and depression be alleviated? Is the label 'Disorder' helpful?
In this webinar we will be examining this complex and challenging constellation of psychological conditions, collectively known as 'Personality Disorders' including Cluster A 'Suspicious', Cluster B 'Impulsive' and Cluster C 'Anxious'.
Management, treatment and support for individuals suffering from personality disorders can be challenging - sometimes because the distinctive interpersonal style of the client is itself sometimes avoidant or disruptive of any therapeutic intervention. The range of different types of personality disorders, and the range of variation within each 'cluster' and 'type' further complicates support and treatments strategies. We will examine practical methods of assessment, support and treatment.
This introductory workshop assumes no prior knowledge of the area.
