OVERVIEW

This event is a video conference that will broadcast from Summit Behavioral Healthcare in Cincinnati, Ohio, to multiple sites around the state. Attend at a site near you (see "locations" tab).

A personality disorder is a lifelong set of attitudes and behaviors that cause difficulties for usually both the person with the disorder and those with whom they interact: the personality-disordered person continues to perpetuate the same self-defeating cycle in relationships.  Staying on track requires being able to conceptualize what keeps them in their maladaptive pattern, and helping them have corrective cognitive, behavioral and emotional experiences that are anchored to a vision of more adaptive functioning.   This training will provide the participant with a cognitive behavioral framework to understand various personality disorders and choose interventions that help move the person towards more effective functioning.  CBT conceptualization can also help the clinician maintain the therapeutic alliance during periods of stress and prevent professional burnout.

Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to....

  • Define a personality disorder
  • Discuss CBT literature concerning the conceptualization of specific personality disorders (Borderline, Antisocial, Avoidant)
  • Construct treatment interventions to address specific personality disorders
  • Apply a CBT conceptualization to manage non-adaptive reactions to personality disordered behaviors of clients
