Workshop Purpose and Objectives: Patients whose problems most interfere with their functioning are often the most difficult to treat. They can require more time in therapy, more energy and time from the therapist, may have great difficulty making progress in treatment, or make no progress at all. Their problems are numerous, they may have less motivation, have lower levels of adaptive functioning, and often have diagnoses on all four axes. The key words for these patients are comorbidity, refractive, and challenging. Often these difficult patients come to therapy at the request or demands of others. They often see their problems to be external, i.e. the problems are those of the world and not of their making or responsibility. These challenging diagnoses include all the personality disorders, those diagnosed in Cluster B (Borderline, Narcissistic, Histrionic and Antisocial), dual diagnosis including bipolar disorders, substance use and ADHD, schizophrenia, and refractory depression and anxiety. Drs. Arthur and Sharon Freeman will use videotapes, role playing, experiential techniques, didactic presentations, class discussion, case presentations, and readings to present this seminar. They will focus on the conceptualization and application of Cognitive Behavior Therapy with these most difficult and complex patients. • Identify and describe the steps required to develop a cognitive behavioral treatment conceptualization for treating patients with personality disorders and other complex problems • Use the Diagnostic Profiling System (DPS) to gather data and direct the therapy plan • Discuss and differentiate common co-morbidities as an issue in treating chronic patients • Describe the differences between therapeutic strategies and technical interventions • Define four areas of impediment to therapeutic progress • Describe the rationale for using cognitive and/or behavioral interventions • Identify ten cognitive interventions for treating difficult patients • Identify ten behavioral interventions for treating difficult patients |
