Workshop Description
Co-existing personality disorders in clients who have complex trauma and dissociation are not uncommon, can complicate the treatment, and often lead to therapeutic impasses. We will explore practical ways to assess for the most common personality disorders and plan treatments that address behavioral problems and major defenses and conflicts that overlap with trauma. Behavioral challenges that interfere with treatment should be addressed early. We will explore the emotional, cognitive, and relational challenges of working with these clients, who may be especially affected by childhood trauma and neglect due to genetic vulnerabilities. The necessity of clear, consistent boundaries, the avoidance of power struggles, and the management and therapeutic use of countertransference will be discussed.
Join us to learn about:
-
The association between childhood trauma and attachment functioning in clients with personality disorders.
-
Complex PTSD and borderline personality disorder.
-
PTSD, C-PTSD, and BPD; comorbid but distinct syndromes.
-
Distinguishing Complex PTSD from Borderline Personality Disorder.
-
Pathological narcissism (PN) and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).
-
Internal processing in patients with pathological narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder: Implications for alliance building and therapeutic strategies.
-
Personalizing psychotherapy for personality disorders; a personalized approach that will optimize therapy effectiveness.
-
Guiding treatment with individualized case formulation.
