Working with people with high levels of psychopathy (SOLD OUT)
About
People with psychopathic personality traits are amongst the most challenging and concerning cases for professionals to work with. This one day training will give participants an overview of the latest research and best practice recommendations for working with people with significant psychopathic traits. It will cover the nature and definition of psychopathy; the aetiology and development of psychopathy; comorbidity, differential diagnosis and overlaps with other conditions; the association with offending and violence; and its life course. The main focus will be on relevant practice skills and knowledge such as interview skills, assessment issues, treatment approaches, and risk assessment and management. This is not training in using a particular instrument to assess psychopathy and no such prior training is required to attend.Dr Rajan Darjee: Deputy Specialty Director for Forensic Mental Health Services (Tasmanian Health Service), Adjunct Associate Professor (CFBS) and more.
