Tuesday, February 11th
1:00 PM EST – 4:15 PM EST
Overview:
Managing clients with Cluster C personality disorders is a critical aspect of clinical practice. These clients often present with behaviors that can challenge even the most experienced clinicians, leading to feelings of frustration and burnout. In this seminar, you will gain valuable insights and strategies from an experienced clinician who has successfully worked with individuals across the Cluster C spectrum, which includes avoidant, dependent, and obsessive- compulsive personality disorders. Enhance your professional skills, fortify resilience, and establish robust boundaries to bring about positive therapeutic change while maintaining your own well-being in this challenging clinical domain.
Utilizing case studies and other clinical examples, we will showcase client symptoms, conceptualization, complex presentations, and treatment strategies for each of these personality disorder types.
Dr. Fox will help you integrate and expand upon elements from evidence-based modalities, including Schema Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This approach will enable you to cultivate practical skills tailored to the individual needs of your professional practice.
Objectives:
- Recognize and Diagnose: Clearly distinguish and recognize the subtle differences in Cluster C personality disorder diagnoses.
- Effective Treatment Interventions: Skillfully identify and diagnose clients with avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders, ensuring informed choices in treatment interventions.
- Manage Overlapping Symptoms: Distinguish overlapping symptoms, identify effective treatments, and manage emotions for each client diagnosed with a Cluster C personality disorder.
- Address Therapy-Interfering Behaviors: Confidently address therapy-interfering behaviors specific to each personality disorder, enhancing the application of several evidence-based treatments (EBTs) to improve treatment planning and adherence.
- Reduce Anxiety and Compulsiveness: Incorporate techniques aimed at reducing anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and dependency into impactful treatment approaches.
- Integrate Modalities: Synthesize, apply, and integrate Motivational Interviewing (MI) and DBT techniques when working with clients diagnosed with Cluster C personality disorders, aiming to manage cognition and enhance emotional regulation.
Course materials are only available to enrolled students.
