Overview
This one day course has been
designed to bring a Scottish perspective to one of the more
challenging areas of practice. Many psychiatrists describe their
interactions with patients with Borderline Personality Disorder as
the most stressful part of their job! On the other hand, this work
can be extremely rewarding if given a model in which to understand
and manage the tensions that exist between patients and carers,
with primary care and within mental health teams.
The recent change of
emphasis towards treatment under the new Mental Health Act, the
development of Integrated Care Pathways and the publication of NICE
and other guidelines for management of Borderline patients have
created much debate.
Access to psychological
therapies may vary across regions and the nature of the most
appropriate interventions remains controversial. This course will
summarise the evidence for psychological therapies. Mentalization
skills will be demonstrated and developed utilising small group
teaching and role plays. This course is eligible for 6 CPD
hours subject to your peer group approval.
