Treatment of the Patient with Narcissistic Personality Disorder by Arthur Freeman, EdD, ScD

The New York City Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Association lecture series presents "Treatment of the Patient with Narcissistic Personality Disorder" by Arthur Freeman, Ed.D., Sc.D., ABPP Chair, Department of Behavioral Science at Touro College

Presentation Description: lthough the clinical literature on NPD is largely abstract, theoretical, and general (Ashmun, 2004), Dr. Freeman proposes viewing NPD through a lens on three fronts to aid in assessment and conceptualization. First, Dr. Freeman will describe twelve distinct subtypes of NPD, each needing a somewhat different emphasis. Second, Dr. Freeman will discuss the unique clinical presentation of each subtype, which would be further classified as primarily internalizing, primarily externalizing or combined type. Third, participants will learn how each distinct subtype can differ in their levels of functional impairment. Combining these factors - the subtypes, the clinical manifestations, and functional impairment - will yield a more specific diagnosis and more tailored treatment planning. Additionally, Dr. Freeman will go on to introduce a CBT treatment formula centering on this conceptualization to produce more effective results.

Objectives:
At the conclusion of the presentation:

Participants will learn specific methods of improving assessment and conceptualization with NPD patients by understanding subtypes, clinical presentations, and levels of functional impairment.
Participants will learn a CBT treatment formula described for treatment planning with NPD patients.
Participants will receive copies of the Freeman Diagnostic Profile to assist with assessment, conceptualization and treatment planning.
