“Bridging the Divide: An Introduction into Care for People with Borderline Personality Disorder” Friday 6th December 2019 – from 9.00am – 3.30pm (Registrations: 8.30am – 9.00am) Venue: Tauranga RSA, 1237 Cameron Road, Greerton, Tauranga
Our understanding of, and treatment for, people with emotion regulation issues has dramatically changed over the last 10 years. Especially for those that are on the more severe side of the spectrum, often diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). For the longest time, this disorder was thought to be ‘incurable’. However, extensive scientific research has given us insight into treatment options that do make a difference in the lives of people with these problems. In this seminar, a theoretical overview will be given of the development of personality disorders in general. We will then shift our focus to the Borderline Personality Disorder, with a brief overview of worldwide available treatments. We will focus on principles and interventions in supporting people with these problems that will be helpful in all different sorts of services. The aim of this seminar is that participants will be better able to recognize and understand the problems of people with Borderline Personality Disorder. Although supporting people with severe BPD can be a challenge, participants will hopefully find they have acquired some basic tools, after this introduction, to feel more confident in supporting these people. The Presenter: Josey Wulffaert is a Clinical Psychologist who arrived 1.5 years ago in Aotearoa/New Zealand. She specialises in mental health care for people with severe BPD. In the Netherlands, she worked in a tertiary specialist clinic for BPD with both adults and adolescents and their whānau. Alongside her clinical work, she has worked as a trainer and supervisor. She currently works at MICAMHS at the BOPDHB, where she combines clinical work with the implementation of treatment programmes in early personality disorders.
