Members of TFP – New York have experience designing and implementing trainings for various groups of individuals and institutions on topics related to the assessment and treatment of personality disorders.
Trainings can be highly varied and customized depending on the group’s level of training / experience, institutional needs, and interests. Trainings typically combine didactic instruction with presentation of clinical case material. Trainings can vary in duration, from a briefer “Grand Rounds” type presentation, to trainings that extend to a full day, or multiple days. We also offer a year-long introductory training, meeting weekly, as described below. For more information about designing a training that will meet the needs of your group or institution, please contact Dr. Barry L. Stern.
