Overview
Individuals struggling with personality disorders, impulsive and destructive behaviors are among the most challenging to reach and connect with. In sessions, they can be easily triggered, present extreme thinking patterns, experience intense feelings, and challenge boundaries. Often, they do not respond to standard treatment protocols. Fortunately, Schema-Focused Therapy is showing increasingly positive results for these patients.
In this workshop, Dr. Jeff Riggenbach will present the integrated schema-focused cognitive model, providing you with clinical tools to effectively address these challenging cases. This comprehensive training will equip you with practical strategies to implement with individuals struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), addictions, impulse control issues, and other emotionally dysregulated or Cluster B presentations.
It will cover:
- An overview of the following models: schema-focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and schema therapy
- What makes people “challenging”?
- The role of schemas in information processing
- The 18 early maladaptive schemas grouped into five different domains: disconnection and rejection, impaired autonomy and performance, impaired limits, other-directedness and overvigilance
- The various characteristics of schemas and their reinforcement
- The schema modification protocol and the states of change
- “Top Down” vs. “Bottom Up” interventions
- Integrated case studies
Dr. Jeff Riggenbach will emphasize the importance of the therapeutic alliance. He will introduce effective techniques for both individual and group interventions, fostering better outcomes. This comprehensive training will prepare you for the most demanding clinical challenges!
