Borderline
Personality Disorder
Today’s Most Powerful and Effective
Treatment & Management
Empirically-Proven Strategies to Help Your Patients
Although the most prominent, well-known, and well-researched of the personality disorders, individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder remain
one of the most difficult types of clients for most mental health and social service professionals. Often experienced as exasperating, upsetting, and
even impossible, patients with BPD often confuse, frighten, and frustrate clinicians.
It does not need to be this way. Although largely unfamiliar to all but a few specialists in the area, there are new, innovative, and cutting-edge
methods that have empirically-proven effectiveness in managing and treating the behavior of this often bewildering client population. By drawing
on the most current experience, research, and literature, this seminar offers mental health and social service professionals concise and practical
information on treating and managing individuals with this difficult condition.
Presented by Gregory W. Lester, PhD, the widely-acclaimed specialist who has trained more social service personnel on the topic of Personality
Disorders than any other professional, this seminar delivers what his trainings are famous for—the most current, clear, practical, realistic, useful, and
bottom-line information available on the topic.

topic than any other individual. Over 100,000 professionals have attended his trainings and seminars.
