Description

Ego battles, fits of rage, self-harm, and perpetual crises encompass working with personality disorder clients and requires a strong and refined clinical skill set.

If you’ve found yourself feeling frustrated or even wanting to give up, you’re not alone…Clients diagnosed with personality disorders are among the highest sources of burnout for
clinicians.

It’s time to learn to curb the intensity of managing personality disorders in your office.

Reach for new treatment potentials and make breakthroughs in treating borderline, narcissistic, and antisocial personality types by joining Dan Fox, PhD, author and personality disorder expert, for this transformative webinar. You’ll learn to:

  • Overcome narcissistic traits of perfectionism and combat their need to overpower you
  • Harness confidence to manage manipulative and possibly violent antisocial traits in-session
  • Craft interventions to help the borderline personality disorder client deal with their explosive emotions, self-harm tendencies, and comfort in chaos
  • Maintain patience and composure with intense emotional expressions and strong pleas for attention

Dr. Fox will present case studies to illustrate client symptomatology, conceptualization, complex comorbidity, and treatment of each personality disorder diagnosis. He’ll guide you through building upon and synthesizing aspects of the most efficacious evidence-based modalities, such as schema, transference-focused, cognitive-behavioural, interpersonal, and dialectical behavioural therapies to construct interventions that transform clients’ personality structures.

Take from this training the courage and confidence to direct treatment with the most complex clients that come to your office.
