Advancing our Scientific Understanding of Personality & the Treatment of Personality Disorders
Mission
The ABCT P/PD SIG is a group committed to the enhancement of health and well-being by advancing our scientific understanding and improving the assessment of personality and treatment of personality-related difficulties.
Purpose
The Personality/Personality Disorder SIG promotes research on cognitive-behavioral approaches to addressing personality disorders, along with the broad underlying dimensions of personality that underlie the expression of many forms of psychopathology. We aim to form a bridge between cognitive-behavioral treatment and emerging dimensional models of personality/psychopathology.
​
We hope to:
1) Provide a home for like-minded ABCT members to network
​
2) Increase awareness of the overlap between personality and psychopathology
​
3) Engage treatment experts in practical conversations about using transdiagnostic, personality-based approaches to streamline clinical care.
