Upcoming KAPA ZOOM CE event

Monica Johnson, PsyD

Summary:
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is wrought with stigma in both the general public and professional communities. Consequently, many patients with this diagnosis face resistance through misinformation and providers who are reluctant to engage due to lack of appropriate training. This training will provide ways to conceptualize in a non-judgmental fashion. Evidence based practice approaches will be broadly discussed and therapeutic interventions will be explored that can increase your proficiency in doing this work.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Discuss 2 ways to conceptualize borderline personality disorder
