How to address psychological defences in cases of complex trauma and dissociation. Module 3: Idealisation, dysfunctional positive affect, and fantasies of rescue and care

This webinar will address idealisation, dysfunctional positive affect, and rescue and care fantasies, as well as the associated relational difficulties in patients with complex trauma and dissociation. We will describe the function of these mechanisms and how they underlie persistent symptoms and difficulties. Tools for identifying and managing these defences in psychotherapy will be outlined and illustrated with practical clinical examples.

This is the third of the four modules that make up the training course on psychological defences. You can purchase the modules individually or access the full training course available on the website, which includes all four modules. If you purchase this module separately, we recommend purchasing the rest separately as well, as the full training course includes all modules, including those already purchased.
