Treating the Patient with Personality Disorders: Developing a Philosophy of Treatment
In his lecture, "Treating the Patient with Personality Disorders: Developing a Philosophy of Treatment," Dr. Larry Beutler begins by discussing the challenges associated with defining the term "personality." Dimensional and categorical views of personality are then contrasted, and Millon's "Basic Personalities" are explained. Dr. Beutler moves on to discuss attachment styles and personality, and from there begins an in-depth review of Borderline Personality Disorder. Toward the end of the lecture, principles for treating personality disordered patients are presented, and demonstration videos of therapy sessions are shown to the class.
