The barriers (myths) regarding early detection and intervention of personality challenges in adolescents as well as evidence in support of the diagnosis in adolescents will be discussed.\n\nDr. Sharp will also review the development of identity. Participants will be introduced to research on the normative development of personality and identity during adolescence, as well as deviations from normative developmental trajectories. To this end, Dan McAdams’s model for typical personality and identity development during childhood and adolescence will be presented and discussion will follow on how identity development may go awry manifesting in personality challenges.\n\nMentalizing will be introduced as a critical skill for supporting healthy personality development. Dr. Sharp will then cover evidence-based assessment and treatment where participants will be introduced to structured and clinical assessment tools for adolescents with personality challenges, when conceptualized through the lens of identity development and mentalization.\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND:\nThis workshop is ideally suited to clinicians from a range of mental health and allied health sectors who want to broaden their understanding of BPD and to be able to offer appropriate supports.\n\nPRESENTER: \nCarla Sharp Ph.D. \nProfessor of Psychology;\nInterim Associate Dean for Faculty and Research;\nDirector of the Adolescent Diagnosis Assessment Prevention and Treatment Center:\nDirector of the Developmental Psychopathology Lab at the University of Houston.\n\nDr. Sharp has significantly advanced the scientific understanding of the phenomenology, causes, correlates and treatment of personality pathology in youth.
