Hi ,
As it is Easter we just have the one workshop this weekend: Personality Disorders: Characteristics and Treatment.
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.
Personality Disorders - Key Topics (indicative)
- Diagnostic Criteria (DSM-5) and the idea of 'disorder',
- Types of Personality Disorder:
- Cluster A - 'Suspicious
- Cluster B - 'Impulsive'
- Cluster C - 'Anxious'
- Prevalence, Causes, Gender differences
- Case Study small group exercise
- Treatment Issues and Perspectives
- Medication and Treatment
- Metacognitive interpersonal therapy (Gordon-King)
- The client voice and the Recovery Journey (Katsakou)
- Type 1 and Type 2 thinking treatments (Broyd)
- Summary and next steps.
