Working with Borderline Personality Disorder – Psychodynamic Treatment and DBT: Friends or Enemies?

  • This event has passed.

May 9, 2015 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm

For many clinical settings, the use of psychodynamic treatment and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for working with patients with borderline personality disorder are antithetical. In some settings they co-exist, and even enhance outcomes. The fact is, psychodynamic theories are at the foundation of behavioral techniques.

Case presentations compare and contrast these approaches to address clinical work with this complicated and challenging dynamic.

Objectives

This workshop is designed to help the participant begin to:

  1. Explore the psychodynamic foundation of dialectical behavioral techniques.
  2. Compare and contrast the use of DBT and a psychodynamic approach.
  3. Discuss challenges of utilizing psychodynamic approach in particular clinical setting.
