Overview |
Borderline
Personality Disorder is present in 1-2% of the population,
yet little attention has been paid to research and services
for patients and their families. In order to focus more
attention in this area, NEA-BPD has been formed to bring the
latest education to clinicians and family members. This
Second Annual Regional NEA-BPD meeting in Minneapolis,
Minnesota combines the efforts of NEA-BPD with the
Department of Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota
Medical School. The morning section of the meeting provides
an overview of the role of families in the development and
treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder by Alan
Fruzzetti, PhD. Dr. Fruzzetti is the author of a new book:
The High-Conflict Couple: A Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Guide to Finding Peace, Intimacy and Validation. In
addition, Nicki Crick, PhD, University of Minnesota, will
lecture on early onset symptoms of emotional dysregulation:
Borderline Features in Childhood. Other lectures include
up-to-date information on the biosocial treatment of BPD for
both patients and family members including the preliminary
results of a recent University of Minnesota fMRI study; an
overview of the current psychotherapy treatments for BPD
with data regarding their effectiveness; and a medication
update on the management of BPD symptoms. A panel of
individuals at various stages of recovery has been assembled
to provide both hope and insights into the process of
healing and gaining skills to manage emotional dysregulation.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the clinician and family
attendees will have gained valuable knowledge, and
strategies on how to intervene more effectively with those
who suffer from BPD. |
