Mer om kurset
In working with patients with personality disorders, a comorbid addictive behavior can complicate the treatment. The general guideline ‘first treat the Axes I-problem (Addiction) and afterwards the Axes II-problem (Personality Disorder)’, doesn’t work because the addiction and personality disorder are interwoven and the addictive behavior can be an effective coping mode for underlying childhood trauma and unmet needs of the child. In this case a dual focus treatment of PD and addiction is important.
In this workshop an integrated dual focus treatment of Personality Disorders and Addiction is presented, based on Schema Mode work and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
Starting point in this treatment is an assessment phase and a mode conceptualisation of the comorbidity dynamics in terms of substance abuse and other addictive behaviors and Schema Modes.
When the comorbidity dynamics have become more clear, the treatment can start and will focus om modes like the Self-Soother, Self-Stimulator, the Angry and Impulsive child, in order to reach the vulnerable or lonely child. Also the Critical Parent is often an important mode to focus on.
In Cluster B-patients the Impulsive Child, the Self-Soother and Self-Stimulator are common modes. Moreover: ‘aggressive’, overcompensating modes can play a role. Examples are the Self-Aggrandizer, Bully- and Attack and Conning and Manipulative Mode.
In Cluster C-patients the self-soothing modes are often more hidden modes and sometimes seem less destructive. The common characteristic of Cluster C-personality disorders is that anxiety dominates the functioning. Anxiety to feel and express emotions underlies the disfunctional coping modes. In Cluster C-patients the most prominent modes are the Avoidant Protector, Detached Protector, Compliant Surrender, Perfectionistic Overcontroller and Self-Aggrandizer (Arntz, 2012).
But: in some Cluster C-patients there is also a Self-Soother or Self-Stimulator that can be more hidden, because it in first instance seems ‘healthy’ coping behavior. But in second instance it appears to be coping behavior with the function of not feeling vulnerable emotions. Behaviors could be: cleaning the house, working, gambling, surfing on the internet, multitasking on smart phones and sexual activities.
This 2-day workshop is aimed at (1) analyzing PD and addictive behaviors in terms of schema mode dynamics, (2) recognizing the Self-Soother/Self-Stimulator and other relevant modes in Cluster B and C-patients, (2) working with these modes step-by-step with techniques that stem from CBT and ST; giving psycho-education and motivate the patient to stop with the self-soothing behavior, contingency management, imagery and chair techniques to fight the parent modes and coping modes.
We will focus on how to overcome the Self-Soother and other addiction-related modes and how to reach the vulnerable and lonely child. We also pay attention to specific aspects of limited reparenting and limit setting in addicted patients. The final goal of treatment is that patients can make more connection with their own emotions (vulnerable child mode) as well as with other people.
