Description:
This daylong session will focus on practical issues in the treatment of clients with borderline personality disorder. DBT has become a well known evidence-based practice for working with people with borderline personality disorder. However it is only one of multiple approaches for working with this population. Recent research has highlighted the commonalities in treatment approaches for this disorder across various theoretical frameworks, including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and good psychiatric management (GPM). This workshop will discuss the unique contributions and commonalities across seemingly divergent approaches, as well as how to address trauma issues as part of any treatment approach.
A few highlights of the workshop include learning about:
- Similarities between DBT and non-DBT cognitive behavioral approaches to working with borderline personality disorder;
- How psychodynamic theorists historically understood the disorder, and modern psychodynamic approaches, such as mentalization-based therapy and transference-focused psychotherapy; and
- A synthesized approach pioneered by John Gunderson to work well in settings where DBT is not practical–Good Psychiatric Management (GPM),
Case examples will be used to illustrate key concepts.
