Watch clinical psychologists and personality disorder experts Drs. Gregory Lester and Alan Godwin for this compelling seminar that offers practical, must-know interventions for not only treating these challenging clients but also those who are left in their toxic wake.

Dr. Lester begins with a deeper dive into clinical assessment of personality disorders as well as the most common challenges when working with this subset of clients. He’ll cover:

• The core of the personality disorder: an ever-changing agenda
• Why this client population functions the way it does
• How to diagnose differentially among the most common, heavily nuanced personality disorders
• Personality Disorder-Trait Specified (PD-TS) and other general criteria for personality disorders
• Meaningful navigation of transference and countertransference issues
• Why therapeutic boundaries may look different with these clients
• How to identify (often subtle) warning signs of manipulation – and what to do!
• And much more!

Dr. Godwin takes it from here, focusing on how to effectively work with both clients with personality disorders and those who (repeatedly?) find themselves in their emotional crosshairs. Known for his straightforward style and practical interventions, Dr. Godwin masterfully covers:

• Psychoeducation for clients to begin recognizing manipulative behavior and patterns in relationships
• How to teach assertive communication, healthy boundaries, and limit setting
• Strategies for maximizing therapeutic gains with clients who are manipulative
• The internal peace of adopting a “non-participation” approach to drama and sidebars in session
• 5 must-know signs your client is manipulating you
• Strategies for addressing common therapy-interfering behaviors
• And more!
