The University of Houston ADAPT Center and Center for START, as well as the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder (NEABPD) are pleased to offer a workshop concerning the assessment, diagnosis and mentalization-based treatment (MBT) of Borderline Personality Disorder in youth. This full-day workshop will be led by Dr. Carla Sharp of the University of Houston, and is open to doctoral level clinicians and researchers, allied mental health professionals, students and residents.
Directed by: Dr. Carla Sharp (University of Houston)
Saturday, November 4th, 2017 9:30am-5:30pm
Despite the fact that the diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in youth is legitimized in psychiatric nomenclature (DSM 5 and the ICD-11) as well as national treatment guidelines in the United Kingdom and Australia, BPD is not routinely assessed for or treated in most child and adolescent mental health services. This workshop will review the existing evidence base for BPD in adolescents, followed by a discussion and demonstration of evidence-based approaches to the assessment and treatment of BPD in adolescents, with a specific focus on the mentalization-based approach.
