Does your client have a schizoid personality disorder, social anxiety, or an avoidant personality disorder? How do you make the difference, and what are the crucial differences in the treatment plans for your patients with avoidant personality disorder compared to these other "looks alike"?

  1. Learned the framework of the Socratic Motivational Practice to increase the effectiveness of your work in helping clients who have Avoidant Personality Disorder
  2. Learned the principles, techniques, and steps of the Socratic Motivational Practice to helping clients who have Avoidant Personality Disorder
  3. Increased your tools to helping clients with Avoidant Personality Disorder, by identifying at least one thing you will start doing differently at the end of the seminar, as a result of the Socratic Motivational Practice framework.
