Understanding personality disorder through developmental pathways and trauma: IN-PERSON WORKSHOP, 07.07.2025

This workshop will give participants a grounding in the fundamental skills of using CBT. The workshop incorporates a brief introduction to basic CBT theory, but the main aim is to teach participants the CBT skills of assessing clients and producing CBT formulations, or case conceptualisations, of their problems. The workshop is focused on practical clinical skills, and therefore the bulk of the work involves role-playing. The workshop leaders will role-play clients and workshop participants in small groups will follow through the different stages of assessment, finally producing a CBT formulation for the ‘client’.
