 Working with high risk clients doesn’t have to be a gut-wrenching experience…

Many clinicians dread working with individuals diagnosed as borderline, bipolar, schizophrenic, psychotic, and character disordered. Often labeled as “high risk” or difficult, these relational disorders and interpersonal manifestations require long and
intense transformative therapy. Planning effective support for these clients is often time-constrained, due to limited insurance, lack of community resources, and other limited support.

Attend this one-day seminar and learn how to plan effective support (even under tight time constraints) for these high risk clients. Participants will address the nature of personality organization in order to flow with – and eventually enjoy – working at early
developmental levels. This course will cover the client’s engagement/disengagement needs, using a relational process-oriented approach, so the therapist can gauge how much and what kind of therapy can be achieved at any point and time. Attendees will also learn how to construct a treatment setting that reduces various pitfalls, such as transference-based false accusations against the therapist.
