Overview

Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) have traditionally been perceived as some of the most challenging cases in clinical settings, with many professionals deeming them untreatable. However, recent research challenges this perspective. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has been a trailblazer in changing perceptions and outcomes for individuals with BPD.

While most practitioners receive training in DBT, it's crucial to note that it's just one among several evidence-based treatments for BPD. Today's psychologists can employ a multifaceted, integrative approach to address this previously stigmatized diagnosis. This 3h30 training offers a comprehensive understanding of BPD. It equips attendees to discuss the diagnosis in a manner that reduces client resistance and enhances motivation. Additionally, the training provides practical, evidence-driven treatment strategies.

By the end, participants will possess in-depth knowledge of BPD and a wide array of tools to effectively assess, diagnose, and empathetically treat these individuals, guiding them towards a fulfilling life.
