Peter Fonagy and Marsha
Linehan to speak on treatments for borderline personality disorder
On Saturday, April 25, 2009, the NCPF and
the UNC
School of Social Work will bring
together Professors Peter Fonagy and Marsha Linehan for a full-day
program on treating patients with borderline personality disorder. Both Drs.
Linehan and Fonagy have spent years developing techniques to help their patients
manage their feelings, behaviors, and relationships in ways that decrease their
self-destructive tendencies and increase their capacities to love and to work.
We invite you to spend a day with these two seasoned clinicians, researchers, and accomplished lecturers. You will learn about:
- Professor Fonagy's mentalization-based therapy (MBT) which, based on psychoanalytic principles of perceiving and interpreting intentional mental states, promotes change by helping individuals to deepen their sense of "self" and their empathy for others.
- Professor Linehan's dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) which, based on "mindfulness" and the linkage of acceptance and change, provides specific cognitive and behavioral strategies for improving interpersonal relationships and gaining greater control over emotional responses.
