Presented by:

National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder, and

Department of Psychiatry, University of Minnesota, Medical School

This conference is specifically designed to offer those persons whose lives are impacted by Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), professionals, relatives, and consumers, a forum to better understand this complex disorder from various perspectives. An internationally recognized faculty will present up-to-date information on key issues pertaining to many aspects of the disorder. We will cover diagnosis and treatments across the life span, co-occurring disorders and medical issues, personal and social impact, new research, self-injury and suicide, longitudinal perspectives and current research, medications, and consumer/family perspectives.

 

STATEMENT OF NEED

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior. This instability often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual’s sense of self-identity. While less known than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), BPD is more common, affecting 5.9% of adults. This conference is intended to bring the latest in education to both clinicians and family members.

 

AUDIENCE

This conference would be ideal for psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers and family members whose lives are impacted by Borderline Personality Disorder.

 

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Following this conference, participants should be able to:

• Identify age-associated variations in BPD

• Distinguish between developmental issues and BPD

• Outline skills potentially effective to modify maladaptive adolescent behavior

• Delineate high-risk factors for suicidal behavior and implement a high-risk assessment

• Specify pharmacological treatments for all age ranges and their risk/benefit ratios

• Interpret the interpersonal difficulties of patients in the context of attachment issues

• Identify family skills based on the principles of DBT
