The Farley Center at Williamsburg Place and Menninger Clinic invites you to join us on Friday, February 26th from 9 am – 12 pm for a workshop on Mentalizing: Treatment and Emerging Personality Disorders in Adolescents.  Dr. Efrain Blieberg, Professor and Vice Chair of Menninger’s Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences will be discussing the framework and techniques of a mentalization-based approach designed to engage and develop a therapeutic alliance with adolescents experiencing an adaptive breakdown and/or the emergence of dramatic personality disorders; demonstrate interventions that help break coercive non-mentalizing cycles and difficulties between adolescents and others, including their parents and treators that compromise the development of a therapeutic alliance and contribute to poor outcomes and persistent maladjustment.
