ISTDP for Personality Disorders: A 3-Day Immersion w/ Allan Abbass

ISTDP San Diego - Tami Chelew & Matt Jarvinen

Dr. Allan Abbass's 3-day online course will use video presentations to show how ISTDP treats personality disorders

Personality Disorders affect 10% of the population and cause a major excess of mental health, medical, social services and legal system costs. When personality disorders are present they interrupt standard treatments and result in poor outcomes. These patients are also a source of distress, anxiety and boundary violations in treating professionals due to the intense emotions that they activate.Davanloo specifically developed Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy in order to treat complex and resistant patients who were not responding to other treatment methods. He developed specific methods to handle the highly resistant defended patient, the patient with significant somatic symptoms and repression, and the patient with primitive defenses and fragile character structure. ISTDP is an empirically supported treatment for mixed personality disorders.In this three day video based immersion course, Dr Allan Abbass will review the metapsychology, treatment processes underlying ISTDP with patients with personality disorders.It will include the following points:• How to detect and handle high resistance from the first contact• How to turn a patient against his own defenses• How detect and gauge the level of fragility• How to recognize and manage primitive defenses• How to detect rapidly rotating defensive fronts• How to manage self-destructive behavior cycles• How to build capacity to tolerate emotions and anxiety• How to detect early markers of the unconscious therapeutic alliance• How to manage termination in time limited varieties of ISTDPReduced rates are available for group registrations and those in certain lower income countries.
