Description

Working with young people who are experiencing severe and complex mental health problems (including personality disorder) can challenge clinicians and multidisciplinary teams. Such challenges can result in clinicians or teams feeling frustrated and stuck, and to inadvertent collusion with maladaptive patterns, which can make things worse.

Developing a team formulation of challenging patterns of behaviour has been demonstrated to assist clinicians to work together more consistently and effectively. A reflective, relational model (based on cognitve analytic therapy principles) will be used to practice formulating the challenges in a way that can be communicated to others in simple terms, to promote more helpful responses from young peoples’ systems.
