  • The core characteristics of Borderline Personality Disorder.
  • Specific treatment and management strategies.
  • Etiology and neuroscience in Borderline PD.
  • Specific communication approaches to engage clients and assist in therapeutic progress.
  • Comprehensive and integrative treatment techniques you can use in any setting, whether it is an organisation or a counselling room.

  

Clients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can present you with many challenges, and focusing on one treatment modality may not provide your clients with the therapeutic results they desperately need. Enrol in this comprehensive and practice-focused course and learn how to use a range of integrative and applied treatment strategies for treating borderline disorders. Combining aspects of DBT, CBT, Schema therapies and neurobiological stabilization, you will develop specific interventions that are effective and necessary throughout your involvement with the client.  Learn how to rapidly recognise diagnostic aspects of BPD, see the differences between BPD and other personality disorders, recognise BPD sub-types and respond to chronic suicidality.

  

You will learn how to recognise the common factors that lead to affective instability, and techniques to effectively validate clients, provide limit setting and apply strategies to achieve emotional control. You will participate in a multitude of interactive exercises that will leave you confident and will facilitate therapeutic progress.

  

By blending the most effective treatment techniques available for BPD into clear protocols, this course will show you how to maximise your chances for helping your clients achieve lasting change in the course of brief involvement.  You will learn how to quickly progress by using the SET communication strategy repeatedly, how to validate at six levels, how to respond to the subconscious schemas rather than use a “knee-jerk” response to the challenging patterns, and finally, you will learn how to manage chronic suicidality.
