Australian BPD Foundation |
Treatments for borderline personality disorder (BPD) often focus on building mental capacities for self-understanding, self-regulation, and stable attachment to others, to reduce symptoms and bring about remission. Increasingly, we are understanding that reduction of BPD symptoms is not enough to secure functional gains.
Research demonstrates that remission is vastly common in the naturalistic course of the disorder, but recovery can be more difficult to both achieve and maintain. However, recovery is possible and begins a cycle of change which enables people to be an active member of the community, occupy a visible and positive role, contribute in a way that promotes self-esteem, find purpose, and connect to others in a more stable, sustainable way.
This webinar will address the existing science on recovery in BPD and current directions in treatment development that prioritises recovery as the aim of treatment. and self-validation.
This event is being held as part of the activities for BPD Awareness Week in Australia.
This webinar is for clinicians from a range of mental health and allied health sectors, as well as people living with BPD and their support community (friends, family, carers) who want to broaden their understanding of how to support a person living with BPD.
