Event Information
Course overview
The International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE) is a semi-structured clinical interview developed to assess the personality disorder presentations described in section II of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder 5th Edition (DSM-5) and the International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition (ICD-10).
Personality disorder assessment is an important undertaking in forensic and other settings, for example, to clarify diagnoses and co-morbidity, to formulate the association between mental health needs and harmful behaviour, and to justify specific treatment and management pathways within the criminal justice and forensic mental health systems.
This two-day in-person training workshop will provide those attending with training in the use of the IPDE. It will begin with a review of key issues in the assessment and diagnosis of personality disorder, including a review of the alternative model for classifying and assessing personality disorder described in section III of the DSM-5 (the AMPD) and the proposed revisions to personality disorder in ICD-11, which will be published in 2022.
The assessment of personality disorder in forensic settings using the IPDE will be examined in detail and case studies will be used to illustrate important points about different diagnoses and potential problems in their individual assessment and measurement. The use of the IPDE as opposed to other methods of assessing personality dysfunction will be discussed. The use of IPDE findings in a formulation about personality functioning and its relevance to treatment and harmful behaviour will also be considered, as will clinical interviewing skills relevant to the assessment of personality pathology in a forensic context.
