ADRA CPD Event – Andrew Wong

ADRA will be hosting an event with Andrew Wong as guest speaker. Attendance to this event allows you to earn 1 CPD point. The topic for this event is “Managing People with Personality Disorders”

Personality disorders are historically seen as mental disorders that are untreatable and the worst to deal with clinically, personally, and professionally. This seminar will provide a brief introduction to personality disorders according to the DSM-5-TR criteria, their typical presentations, and how to identify various personality traits. Although this seminar does not teach us how to make formal diagnoses, it teaches awareness and provides practical suggestions on how to manage their behaviours in a professional setting.
