CANADA – Christine Padesky will be returning to Canada in October 2012 to present Simplifying Personality Disorder Treatment: A NEW Paradigm for CBT.

Treating personality disorders is all too often a complicated and frustrating experience for both therapists and clients. But it doesn’t have to be. In this workshop, you will be taught a 4-stage model that is simple to understand and easily learned by therapists already familiar with CBT approaches.
The NEW Paradigm for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy of personality disorders helps clients build new belief systems rather than focus on dysfunctional beliefs and behaviours. Please join us for this inspiring workshop taught by one of the world’s top cognitive therapy instructors.
