"Complex PTSD and personality disorders: differential diagnosis and treatment planning" - a workshop by Dolores Mosquera before the 9th International ESTD Congress in Poland 10-12 October 2024. Register now! www.estd2024.com

The formal introduction of cPTSD into the ICD-11 enables the post-traumatic symptoms of many patients previously treated with a diagnosis of a personality disorder to be given due weight. During this workshop, different clinical presentations will be discussed to explain similarities and differences between these conditions and their importance for planning treatment. This workshop will help participants answer the following questions: What is the occurrence of dissociative symptoms in cPTSD and personality disorders? How do clinical presentations of cPTSD and personality disorders overlap and what would be the differences in their treatment plans? False-positive cPTSD: Why do patients care about obtaining the diagnosis? How to differentiate cPTSD from Borderline with comorbid PTSD? Can we find cPTSD comorbid with Borderline? Do we treat them differently? How do cPTSD symptoms relate to Partial DID and DID? PTSD symptom or attachment trauma: assessing the quality and presentation of nightmares, traumatic memories.

Congress in Brussels is behind us! 🤩
Seven hundred participants from almost 30 countries - thank you for your participation!
We want to also thank all the people who has contributed for this conference to be a success and thank the AFTD for this fruitful collaboration! 💪☺️
