Treating the Borderline Patient

Instructor: Daniel Paul, Ph.D.

                   Training Analyst, LAISPS

Enormous demands are often made on therapists trying to help borderline patients. This course focuses on helping therapists understand these demands and the impact these demands may have on him/her. This focus serves to help the therapist be freer to think in the face of demands and thus empowers him/her. Clinical vignettes will amply illustrate theoretical concepts.

Course Objectives:

• To help the therapist learn how to work in the here and now with the latent negative transference.
• To familiarize the clinician with different treatment strategies for borderlines who have difficulty being weaned from those who have never bonded and for whom weaning is not yet an issue.
• To help the therapist understand why impasses sometimes arise with borderlines and how to resolve them.
• To assist the therapist in recognizing common countertransference patterns and using his/her responses to further treatment.
