The 'Impossible' Patient

Presenting a series of four lectures, Dr. Gabbard will address several dimensions in treating The 'Impossible' Patient :
- Problems with terms like 'resistance'
- Managing the 'Erotized Transference': strategies for maintaining boundaries and avoiding shaming the patient;
- The Antisocial and Borderline Personality Disorder: distinguishing treatable features and transference/countertransference;
- Mentalizing and Interpretation in the Dynamic Therapy of the Borderline Personality Disorder; Discussion will follow each lecture, which will be illuminated by his use of video shorts, using actors, to demonstrate his approach.
