Clients diagnosed with personality disorders often fail to engage in treatment, miss sessions, feel hopeless and stuck, engage in self-harm, use substances, blame others, and experience continual crises. Through case examples and demonstration roleplays, Dr. Judith S. Beck will show you how to use the therapeutic alliance to engage these clients, help them view other people more realistically, solve interpersonal problems, decrease their use of unhelpful coping behaviors, and improve their relationships. Learn how to use evidence-based CBT strategies to help clients diagnosed with personality disorders evaluate and modify their longstanding, dysfunctional core beliefs so they can change their thinking at both an intellectual and emotional level.
