The Narcissistic Client: Challenges & Strategies for Treatment

4.7

Overview:

Working with clients who have Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can be a challenging experience for therapists. Not only are these clients often reluctant to seek therapy, but they can also be resistant to change and difficult to treat. However, it is important to remember that the partners and children of those with NPD can also suffer greatly and seek treatment to heal from their experiences.

This webinar teaches you specific strategies to help you effectively work with clients who have NPD, and to develop an understanding of the disorder and its impact on clients and their loved ones. Dr. Fox will help you broaden your understanding of individuals with NPD and describe the importance of strong communication, boundary-setting skills, and the ability to be empathetic for the loved ones of those with NPD.

Dr. Fox teaches skills to make therapeutic changes with clients with NPD that can turn maladaptive strategies that perpetuate narcissism into adaptive strategies that help clients reach their goals, be less destructive, and
more likely to achieve therapeutic success.

Objectives:

  • List two techniques that help clinicians prevent experiencing frustration and burnout when working with clients along the narcissistic spectrum.
  • Describe a treatment approach that is likely to help clients along the narcissistic spectrum make clinical gains in therapy.
  • Explain the importance of self-care and boundaries when working with clients with NPD.

Course materials are only available to enrolled students.
