SEVERE EMOTION DYSREGULATION

Bridging the Divide

Training for Mental Health Professionals

Our understanding of, and treatment for, people with emotion regulation issues has dramatically changed over the last 15 years, especially for those that are on the more severe side of the spectrum, often diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

For the longest time, this disorder was thought to be "incurable". However, extensive scientific research has given us insight into treatment options that do make a difference in the lives of people who are struggling with these problems.

The main themes that are covered:
•  A theoretical overview of the development of personality disorders
•  Classification of BPD
•  Understanding the developmental pathways of BPD
•  Principles and interventions in supporting people with severe emotion dysregulatio
n/BPD that will be helpful in all different sorts of services

The aim of this training is that participants will be better able to recognise and understand the problems of people diagnosed with BPD. Although supporting people with severe emotion regulation problems / BPD can be a challenge, participants will hopefully find they have acquired some basic tools to feel more confident in supporting these people.

Dr. Josette Wulffaert, Clinical Psychologist/PhD has over 18 years experience in psychotherapy. She has worked at a renowned, specialised unit for people diagnosed with BPD in the Netherlands where she was an individual and group therapist and team supervisor.
