Description
The first half of this course provides basic information about borderline personality disorder, including their wide mood swings as clients, their intense rage against former partners, and desperate clinging to their children. They have predictable parenting behavior and frequent custody battles. Their predictable court and negotiation patterns will be addressed, as well as ways to spot them early in a case for better management and outcomes for everyone, including them. Hopeful treatments are addressed.

The second half of the course addresses ways of managing people with borderline personalities as clients and as opposing parties, in family court, and in negotiations and mediation. Case examples will be presented of dealing with borderline personalities in and out of court, including abusive behavior and false allegations, as well as handling continuing conflicts after court decisions have been made.
