Presenter(s): Richard Hersh, MD
Unlock innovative strategies in addiction psychiatry with our upcoming lecture on Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP). Originally an evidence-based treatment for borderline personality disorder, TFP aims to reduce symptoms and improve patient functioning. Discover how its principles are now transforming care across various personality disorders and settings—including acute care, risk management, and public health environments. Learn to apply these techniques to enhance patient outcomes and elevate your practice.

Presenter(s): Robert J. Gregory, MD
Treatment of patients with substance use disorders can be fraught with challenges for clinicians. Through their denial system, this patient population may have difficulty fully engaging in treatment, and their interactions can generate strong emotional reactions in the clinicians who are treating them. In this presentation, Dr. Gregory will use principles from Dynamic Deconstructive Psychotherapy to provide a model for understanding some of the dilemmas in working with this patient population and how they may inform pragmatic therapeutic interventions.

Presenter(s): Bruce S. Liese, PhD, ABPP
This webinar provides attendees an opportunity to learn about the latest developments and advances in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for a wide range of diverse addictive disorders and problematic habitual behaviors, including drug and alcohol misuse, problem gambling, online gaming, and binge eating. We distinguish between content (“What is done in CBT”) and process (“How it is done”). For example, we briefly review the CBT model of addictive disorders and standard techniques for facilitating change (i.e., content). And we highlight processes like structure, collaboration, case conceptualization, and psychoeducation. We describe potential rewards and challenges of working with diverse individuals and in various modalities (e.g., individual and group therapy). While this workshop focuses primarily on addictive disorders, participants will certainly learn about CBT content and processes relevant to all clinical work.
