South Africa psychologists: Explore new approaches to BPD, integrating trauma, addiction, and 12-Step principles in these CPD courses.
Borderline personality disorder can test the limits of traditional therapy, and this course offers South African psychologists a different framework. Dr Jana Lazarus integrates trauma-informed care, addiction paradigms and transpersonal psychology, conceptualising BPD as a set of devoted habits and suggesting that 12-Step recovery principles can be adapted for therapeutic use. The approach emphasises authentic human connection, radical acceptance and practitioner self-care. The course explores common therapeutic impasses, the interplay between trauma and addiction, and what effective intervention asks of the clinician. It is accredited by the HPCSA for CPD points and suits practitioners seeking alternative strategies for treating BPD.
