Health Professionals CPD Workshop
Addressing Non-melancholic Depression in the Anxious Worrier and the Perfectionist
Coffs Harbour NSW on Thursday 28 May 2015
Black Dog Institute is running a 6-hour workshop aimed at psychologists, counsellors, social workers and other mental
health professionals who are managing clients with ‘anxious worrying’ personality styles or personality styles which
comprise high levels of ‘perfectionism’.
Program Outline
Part 1: Anxious Worrier - this module focuses on how to assess ‘anxious worrying’ personality characteristics in the context of
a mood disorder, and provides participants with a clearer understanding of the typical symptom pattern and illness course.
Part 2: Perfectionist - this module will enable psychologists to recognise how perfectionism as a personality characteristic
shapes the symptom pattern for non-melancholic depression, and also how to develop specific psychological interventions to
address depression in perfectionistic clients.
Learning Outcomes
After the workshop participants will be able to:
•
explain the personality constructs of ‘anxious worry’ and ‘perfectionism’ within the Black Dog Institute’s Model for nonmelancholic depression
•
identify the characteristics and behaviours associated with anxious worrying and perfectionistic personality in your own
clients
•
develop case formulations that incorporate these personality styles (where present) in your clients
•
devise treatment plans that reduce depression and the risk of future relapse in individuals with anxious worrying and
perfectionistic personality styles
