An introduction to the main features of personality disorders and their treatment from a psychotherapeutic perspective.

About this event

What is this webinar about?

Personality is the relatively stable, general way in which a personal thinks, feels and behaves. Psychologically, it is what makes one person different from other people. A personality disorder is a way of thinking, feeling and behaving that is perceived to be inconsistent with the expectations of the culture, and which causes distress, problems of functioning to the individual and is typically enduring.

Management, treatment and support for individuals suffering from personality disorders can be challenging - sometimes because the distinctive interpersonal style of the client is itself avoidant or disruptive of any therapeutic intervention. The range of different types of personality disorders, and the range of variation within each 'cluster' and 'type' further complicates support and treatments strategies.

This introductory workshop assumes no prior knowledge of this complex and challenging area, and will provide an overview of the key issues and principles in understanding, supporting and treating this multifaceted set of conditions.

Key Topics (indicative)

  1. Diagnostic Criteria (DSM-5)
  2. Types of Personality Disorder:
  3. Cluster A - 'Suspicious
  4. Cluster B - 'Impulsive'
  5. Cluster C - 'Anxious'
  6. Prevalence, Causes, Gender differences
  7. Case Study small group exercise
  8. Treatment Issues and Perspectives
  9. Medication and Treatment
  10. Metacognitive interpersonal therapy (Gordon-King)
  11. The client voice and the Recovery Journey (Katsakou)
  12. Type 1 and Type 2 thinking treatments (Broyd)
  13. Summary and next steps.

The workshop will review the skills required to recognise, understand, and treat personality disorders. While not every subtype will be analysed in depth, there will be consideration of paranoid personality disorder, Schizoid personality disorder, Schizotypal Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Histrionic personality disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder, and Dependent personality disorders.
