On the second day of the conference, participants have two options for intensive training.
Attendees can choose a day of further study of SCM, led by Anthony Bateman, and GIT-PD, led by Joost Hustebaut, in the context of changing diagnostic approaches to personality disorders.
Attendees can choose a day of learning from faculty of all clinical disciplines from diverse settings who will describe the novel adaptations of GPM to common clinical scenarios in inpatient units, emergency departments, special populations such as perinatal patients, or those with common co-occurring disorders such as alcohol use, trauma, and other personality, autism spectrum, and eating disorders.
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 guidelines they need to become skilled providers who can derive satisfaction from treating patients with BPD.
Management strategies using practicality, good sense, and flexibility are emphasized. Listening, validation, judicious self-disclosures, and advisement to build a life rather than focus on being a patient create a positive relationship in which both the concerns and limitations of a mental health professional are explicit.
On May 24, 2023, we are also offering 1-day intensive workshops.
Attendees can choose from:
Both immersive sessions offer a close look at the basics of GPM and how health care professionals can learn to be GPM practitioners to support people with BPD.
