Overview
This workshop provides a five section introduction and training focused on addressing crisis behaviors most evident in borderline personality disorder (BPD). First, the symptoms and dysregulation in BPD are reviewed to provide some understanding of the heterogenous presentation of the disorder. Second, BPD myths, stigma, and treatment difficulties are discussed to provide context and validation surrounding why some clinicians may be hesitant to work with those with BPD, as well as why crisis behaviors may be more primed to occur in those with BPD. Third, two specific sets of BPD crisis behaviors are brought to focus: safety crises (suicide and non-suicidal self-injury) and relational crises (alliance ruptures and boundary violations). The functionality of these behaviors are described. Fourth, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is introduced as a multi-model, cognitive-behavioral therapy-based intervention particularly apt at conceptualizing crisis behaviors in BPD. DBT skills group components are reviewed. Finally, this workshop describes specific strategies for integrating components of DBT into any practice where crisis behaviors are occurring.
