Course Description:
Day 1:
The client whose problems meet DSM-5® criteria for a personality disorder can be the most difficult client on your caseload to treat. It is no wonder most social service providers and mental health professionals feel helpless in the face of the obstructive power of a personality disorder in a client or client s family member. In this seminar, learn strategies to assess and manage the most treatment resistant conditions. Reduce treatment failures and overcome the biggest obstacles to successful treatment outcomes.
Drawing from the most recent outcome literature, clinical trials, case studies and clinical experience, Dr. Jeff Riggenbach presents an integrated approach for dealing with these difficult clients. Leave with specific and practical strategies that you can use in your clinical setting immediately.
Day 2:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most researched and empirically supported approach to treating multiple mental health diagnoses, and is widely considered the treatment of choice for a variety of psychiatric conditions. Attend this seminar and take home empirically supported treatment techniques for your most difficult and treatment resistant clients:
This seminar will teach you a more comprehensive cognitive approach and provide you with multiple cognitive and behavioral strategies that you can integrate into your practice. Learn in-depth schema focused interventions that are useful for addressing more difficult clinical problems.

Dr. Jeff Riggenbach trained with the Beck Institute of Cognitive Therapy and has developed expertise in applying CBT to difficult clients.
