Relational healing for the borderline personality

Live Online CPD Event - Relational Healing for the Borderline Personality – with Dr Ruth Birkebaek

For many psychotherapists and counsellors, borderline clients present a professional challenge because of their frequent relational conflicts, varying developmental levels of transference, and their polarisation of emotions, such as idealisation and hate, elation and despair, anger and dependency.

In this workshop, Dr Birkebaek will make use of a developmentally-based, relationally- focused Integrative Psychotherapy to explain the intra-psychic process of clients who suffer from early Affect Confusion and attachment disruptions.

Through lecture, case vignettes, and clinical discussions, this workshop will focus on the significance of an involved therapeutic relationship while emphasising the in-depth methods of psychotherapy that integrates the client’s affect, cognition, physiology and behaviour.

This workshop will be useful to psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists.
