Description
Historic conceptualisations and research in clinical populations observe the co-occurrence of psychotic symptoms and personality disorderfeatures. There continues to be controversy and debate regarding this co-occurrence; attitudes and the language used by health professionals can be unhelpfully binary and stigmatising. Services and clinicians also find themselves navigating the dilemmas and principles of treatment for
young people with both psychotic symptoms and personality disorder features.
This event will cover:
- the current evidence on the co-occurrence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and psychosis
- early intervention principles and models of care for BPD
- application of principles in formulating, screening and assessment for personality disorders and psychotic symptoms
