CME/CE PRESENTATION
The Psychology of Trauma: Treating Personality Disorders and Cultivating Compassion for Complex, Hard to Treat Conditions
PRESENTER: Susan McClanahan, Ph.D., CEDS
DETAILS: Eating disorders can often be difficult to diagnose and even more challenging to treat. When an eating disorder is co-morbid with a personality disorder, as is often the case, supporting a client through recovery is even more challenging. This presentation will review epidemiology, etiology, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of co-morbid eating and personality disorders. Discussion will include an overview of evidence-based treatments and indicators for the need to refer to a higher level of care.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify ways in which personality disorders may reflect trauma, traumatic stress and traumatic invalidation.
2. Discuss how trauma-informed care can be used to address particular psychological deficits of patients with co-morbid eating and personality disorders.
3. Identify optimal approaches to teach families and loved ones to better support those with co-morbid eating and personality disorders.
