Introduction

Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder carry a stigma that makes it harder for them and their clinicians to really work together to make a difference in their condition. The reason for this has to do with how we understand our clients with Borderline Personality Disorder. But, more importantly, it has to do with how we understand what it means to be a human being. To help our clients end suffering, we are to know who our clients are, and starting with this challenging client population is one of the best ways for us to do just that.

Please join us to understand the DSM Criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder and, more importantly, the individual who carries the diagnosis.

What you’ll learn

At the end of this online seminar, you will have:

  • A deeper understanding of each DSM criterion of Borderline Personality Disorder.
  • An understanding of the individual behind the diagnosis and appreciate what each criterion means accordingly.
  • Discovered why it has been so challenging to work with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder and learn how to remove these barriers.
  • Increased your tools of talking with patients and clients, 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.
  • Everything you want in one place, including an illustration of how to implement the newly learned skills during our role plays.
  • Received your certificate by email after your post-test and evaluation are completed.
