Personality and its possible disorders: Dare we hope to work beyond symptoms?
By Dr Kevin Keith
About this webinar
Humanistic insights maintain that working with the person—not just their mere symptoms—represents part of our ethical duty to respect autonomy. However, how exactly can we support a person when we are not exactly sure what counts as being a person. Personality study has consistently directed us at two valuable facets: the uniqueness of each person, as well as the configuration of difference across common dimensions. This free one hour webinar will introduce a few related challenges facing psychotherapy, both theoretical—notions of personhood, disorder, diagnoses, research—, as well as clinical—complex assessments, deciphering ‘trait versus state’ realities, and selection of interventions
