Description:

This introduction to a developmental-psychobiological approach for working with personality disordered couples will provide attendees with a powerful new method that continues to show good success. This approach focuses on a two-person psychobiological model using attachment, developmental neuroscience and arousal regulation, and moves the clinician from a conflict-content model to a deficit process model focusing on real-time enactments of dysregulation.

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe three interventions for regulating highly avoidant (narcissistid schizoid) partners.
2. To describe three interventions for regulating highly angry and resistant (borderline/narcissistic) partners.
