Introduction to Personality Disorders
Friday 7th June 2013
The Uffculme Centre, Queensbridge Road, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 8QY
A one-day workshop giving an overview of the most commonly encountered personality disorders.
What does the term ‘personality disorder’ mean? What would alert you to whether one of your clients might be suffering from a personality disorder? How are the disorders differentiated? Are there any risks for the client? Are there any guidelines for clinicians? Are there any successful treatments? Find out the answers to these questions and any others you may have from an NHS psychiatrist who is also a psychotherapist specialising complex cases.
Dr Justine Croft is an NHS consultant psychiatrist specialising in medical psychotherapy. She currently works in an adult outpatient psychotherapy service, specialising in psychoanalytic therapy and DBT. She has previous experience of working in medium secure forensic settings. She lectures on postgraduate courses at the medical school in Liverpool and at John Moores on subjects such as communication skills, therapies for personality disorder, skills for working with personality disorder, psychotherapy, and is involved in teaching multi disciplinary audiences and supervising mental health professionals.
This workshop is suitable for mental health professionals including clinical and counselling psychologists, counsellors, social workers, mental health nurses and CBT practitioners.
