Personality Disorders Training

Clients whose difficulties meet the DSM criteria for a personality disorder need robust strategies and nuanced understandings. When working with challenging behaviours and complex emotional dynamics, practitioners need additional support too. Learn from expert instructors such as Janina Fisher, PhD, and Karlen Lyons-Ruth, PhD, who blend psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, relational, and trauma-informed perspectives. PESI UK’s training programs help clinicians deepen their knowledge of diagnoses like Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) and Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (still often referred to as Borderline Personality Disorder). You’ll gain practical skills in assessment, treatment planning, managing therapeutic boundaries, responding to life crises and risk, working with countertransference, and in relational rupture and repair. Whether you’re refining your approach with severe personality disorders, or expanding your competence in working with narcissistic and borderline traits, these trainings equip you to work skillfully and sustainably.
