Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is well known for the difficulties it poses to the treatment process. Therapists often have to contend with problems related to early dropout, extra therapeutic demands, acting out, persistent suicidal ideation, affect storms and chaotic interpersonal situations. Although this is the case, emerging evidence suggests that the prognosis for BPD is much better than previously thought if appropriate treatment is received and goals/expectations appropriate.

In ‘Thinking about Borderline Personality Disorder’ Duncan Cartwright, Ph.D., will present some current evidence about diagnosis, course and treatment of BPD. Drawing mainly on Object-Relations and Mentalisation-based psychotherapy, he will discuss core dilemmas in the treatment process and put forward a number of treatment principles and technical considerations to assist the therapeutic process.

The cost of the workshop is R420 per attendee and is accredited for 4CPD points.

Hubert Hermans, the world-renowned developer of the Dialogical Self Theory and the Self Confrontation Method (SCM), will be conducting a three-hour, CPD accredited workshop in Pietermaritzburg on May 7, 2011.

Hermans, a leading figure in the narrative psychology field, has authored over 200 publications, and will be introducing us to the core ideas of his Dialogical Self Theory and related ideas during the workshop.

A co-author of Self-Narratives: The Construction of Meaning in Psychotherapy, Hermans has an abiding interest in how we negotiate the “selves” of our clients in therapy and he will be introducing thought-provoking ideas that have a capacity to refresh the ways in which we think about the apparently intractable difficulties that are presented during therapy.
