This series of interactive webinars aim to equip mental health and allied professionals with the necessary skills to undertake mentalization-based systemic work with families, couples, and their networks.
Mentalization-based work with families (MBT-F) focuses on the application of mentalizing interventions to families and couples. By bringing together aspects of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and ecological approaches, clinicians can help couples and families better understand themselves and each other.
This 2-day virtual continuing education course offers training in an empirically validated treatment approach, transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP). TFP is a comprehensive evidence‐based treatment for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). While derived from psychoanalytic tradition, TFP incorporates important modifications making it of use to general clinicians today working with patients with significant personality disorder pathology.
This 2-day virtual conference will explore dimensional concepts of narcissism, ranging from healthy to pathological. Objective measures to assess how narcissism can affect people’s ability to function in life will be reviewed. Through the lens of social and organizational psychology, strategies for managing narcissistic employees and leaders in the workplace will be discussed.
Sessions will include interactive question and answer panels, and three optional, intensive workshops designed to enhance participants’ skills in specific therapeutic modalities.
The Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) Basic Training one-month course is made up of 3 days of live, instructor-led content and 21 hours of self-guided content. In this course, participants learn how to implement MBT techniques within their clinical practice as a specialist treatment.
Common clinical situations are discussed and role-played to practice skills. Participants learn how to use their own experiences of the patient as a way of increasing mentalizing within therapeutic encounters.
This one-day, virtual conference focuses on the nature and treatment of obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). This conference will review the core features of OCPD, how the condition impacts functioning, and explain how it can be differentiated from OCD.
Cognitive behavioral therapy interventions for the maladaptive traits and behaviors of OCPD will be focused on as well as the demonstration of specific approaches for presenting problems and ways of overcoming treatment obstacles.
This workshop expands previous knowledge and embeds the basic skills of mentalization-based treatment (MBT). The new course is made up of 2 days of live, instructor-led content and 4 hours of self-guided content.
Learn how to use the MBT adherence scale for individual therapy and hone MBT skills through clinical demonstration, video ratings, and role plays. Using video, participants demonstrate their use of basic interventions within a standardized scenario with an actor.
This 8-hour, self-paced course offers training in an empirically validated treatment approach to BPD known as good or general psychiatric management (GPM). This generalist approach to managing this prevalent, disabling, and sometimes fatal but treatable diagnosis is good enough for most clinicians and most patients, and provides mental health professionals with guidelines they need to become skilled providers who can derive satisfaction from treating patients with BPD.
Clinicians seeking advanced proficiency in treatment modalities are encouraged to register for upcoming clinician supervision offerings. Virtual sessions are run by Dr. Lois Choi-Kain and other certified trainers.
Supervision offerings include general psychiatric management (GPM), mentalization-based treatment (MBT), transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), and more.
