Defense Mechanisms, Coping Skills and Personality Disorders
This training will address the psychological strategies that individuals use to cope with reality in efforts to maintain equilibrium and sense of self (ego). This will include identification and review of coping skills and behavioral symptoms that characterize defense mechanisms. From this, the training will focus on the pathology and persistent use of defense mechanisms and the symptoms and clinical definitions of (common) personality disorders witnessed in the treatment setting. Behavioral and psychopharmacological methods will be addressed and discussed as clinical strategies of treatment planning. To enhance the didactic delivery, there will be interactive exercises and many opportunities for discussion.
