Overview
Personality disorders can be difficult to fully understand, and clinicians may find working with clients who have personality disorders especially challenging. Could you benefit from an introduction or a refresher on the fundamentals of all of the personality disorders and general recommended treatment approaches? This workshop will introduce learners to the core 10 personality disorders and their associated clusters. Diagnostic criteria will be reviewed for each disorder, and case studies in written and video form will highlight core symptomology of disorders. Learners will be encouraged to use diagnostic skills to identify traits and symptoms of each disorder. General treatment protocols for each of the cluster categories will be presented, and learners will be given resources to explore more in-depth treatment approaches. Please note: This training is intended for general clinical audiences who do not specialize in treating personality disorders. It is not intended for those who would like in-depth, advanced clinical interventions for treating personality disorders.
By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:
- Identify and classify the 10 personality disorders and their associated three clusters.
- Discover methods of assessing and diagnosing personality disorders using at least three assessment tools.
- Formulate accurate diagnostic profiles for personality disorders using the DSM-5.
- Recall five key treatment considerations regarding personality disorders.
- Outline a minimum of three general recommendations for treating personality disorders.
- Explain methods of providing quality care to clients with personality disorders.
