What:
Suicide and self-mutilation have been viewed as
correlated dynamics of the human condition. However, effective
assessment and treatment relies on exploring the distinct nature of
each behavior and how they differ based on the goal and outcome each
behavior is designed to achieve.
Mr. Klott - using case studies taken from his 40-year-career and his own personal experience as a therapist - will bring to life the ideas, theories and concepts presented in this engaging seminar.
After examining the goals of suicide and the goals that self-mutilator desires to achieve, you will delve into treatment strategies that will help guide your client to achieve those goals with other, less damaging strategies. You will learn which personality types are most vulnerable to acts of suicide and self-mutilation, as well as the essential link between these behaviors and addiction disorders. Most importantly, your attention will be focused on the treatment relationship and how this relationship is the key to hope for both the suicidal and the self-harm vulnerable client.
