A 3-credit, 30 question CE Program based on the book, Cognitive Therapy for Personality Disorders: A Schema-Focused Approach, 3rd Edition by Jeffrey E. Young, PhD. Participants will learn how to treat patients with personality disorders and other chronic, self-defeating problems. Dr. Young discusses how he adapted traditional cognitive therapy techniques to more effectively treat patients with narcissistic, borderline, passive-aggressive, dependent, and other personality disorders, as well as chronic dysthymic and anxious patients. The schema-focused approach is a pioneering integration of cognitive behavior therapy with gestalt, object relations, and psychoanalytic approaches.
