Background:
Combines relevant aspects of cognitive therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing into a clear and systematic intervention for personality disorder.
A 3 day course describing a clear, systematic and effective intervention for personality disorder.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
In 3 days you will cover a great deal:
• The concept of personality and personality disorder
• What makes you think this person is suffering from a personality disorder? Identifying
the key attributes that are problematic for the person.
• Forming a conceptualization: what lies behind the problem and what is maintaining it?
• Obtaining data and analyzing it. When and where does the problem occur: triggers and
consequences.
• Generating insight in the person that certain aspects of what they do and/or the way the
see things is causing problems. Raising their own observations to the status of
knowledge. Includes conveying the case conceptualization to the person concerned.
• Plan a better strategy for the person responding to the situations that cause problems
for them. Includes the possibility of teaching new skills such as social skills, distress
tolerance, relaxation techniques, empathy increase and others. Appropriate formats
(1:1 or group) for each of these tasks.
• How to support the person in implementing the plan. Includes different modes of working,
such as 1:1, telephone support, group formats, etc.
• How to help the person sustain the progress they achieve by developing and
implementing a maintenance plan.
• Building and maintaining the relationship. Including the problems associated with
different types of personality disorder, and their resolution. Relation-fractures and
repairs thereof.
• Validation and the nurturing of the person’s self efficacy. ‘How to do’ these elements that
are key to personality disorder.
• How to facilitate the person’s learning from experience. Part of personality disorder often
involves poor assimilation of experience and yet ‘learning from your mistakes’ can rapidly
erode fragile self-efficacy. Powerful strategies for resolving this conundrum.
• Supporting yourself: for your own good and the good of your colleagues and those you
work with. Personality disorder is an area that is demanding both technically and
emotionally, so to have proper support ‘built in’ is important.
• Case studies: prepared studies to analyze and ‘solve’; applying ADDRESS™ to your own
current cases.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
What this course will do for you:
• It will provide you with (a) a proper understanding of personality disorder and (b) a clear
and systematic sequence of steps to consistently deliver successful interventions.
• It will equip you with skills that are essential to working with personality disorder, many
of which can be transferred to other areas of your professional and personal life.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Who should attend:
All professionals who work with people diagnosed as ‘personality disordered’, whether in community, inpatient or secure settings. Appropriate professional groups are: psychiatric nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists.
