This workshop focuses on the challenging subject of personality disorders and their relevance to understanding men with sexual and violent convictions. As an expert in this field, Dr. Craissati adopts a psychological approach to diagnostic dilemmas. In this workshop she explores a number of options for making sense of complex behaviours and risk issues in these individuals. Having reviewed the evidence base for psychological therapies in this area, she describes the development in the UK of a pragmatic—and very promising—approach to “psychologically-informed case management.” Dr. Craissati has planned for plenty of time in the workshop to discuss the issues with the participants and think through the issues raised by some case studies.
Topics to be covered include:
1) Why worry about personality disorder?
2) The problems with a diagnostic approach
3) Taking a psychological approach to formulation of personality difficulties and their link to offending behaviour.
4) The evidence base for psychological therapies.
5) The Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway in the UK
6) What is meant by a psychologically-informed case management approach.
As a result of this training, participants will be better able to:
1) Explain the ways in which personality disorder may be linked to heightened risk of further sexual or violent offending.
2) Describe a range of psychological approaches to the formulation of personality and its functional link to violent offending.
3) Explain the evidence base for psychological therapies for personality disorder.
4) Demonstrate psychologically informed case management skills in working with men with sexual and violent offenses and personality disorder.
5) Describe four “Offender Personality Disorder Pathway” outcomes.
6) Classify two overarching mentalizing modes that can be useful in treatment and case management.

I was excited to see this offered. I am a Quantum Healer and I see personality disorders as resulting from a time in their life when the normal attention and love towards a child was not present. It is a brain thing. It can be easily repaired. If you want to discuss this, please feel free.
However, I strongly feel that traditional therapies continue to dissect and create more pieces to put together. In Quantum understanding, first offer what was missing and watch the transformation. Some advanced research where you could study about this is Dr. Joe DIspenza and Peter Crone, The mind Architect.
Hi, could you let me know what time this would be on the UK? Also, what is the cost in pounds? Thank you.
4:00 pm. Thanks for the inquiry.
Will there be study material or a recording provided with registration? I would like to be able to go back and reference the material. This information would be helpful supplementation for work I already do with individual that meet or have characteristics of PD.
Thank you for your interest in our live online trainings!
