BPD: Controversies, Challenges and Collaborations - Professor Jayashri Kulkarni

9th Annual National BPD Conference 2019 - BPD: Best Practice Deserved

BPD is described as a highly prevalent condition that is unfortunately associated with considerable stigma. Controversies abound about the role of trauma in the development of the condition and parallels can be drawn with ‘shell shock’ or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A new category of ‘complex PTSD’ has appeared in the International Classification of Disorders 11 by the World Health Organisation, with a number of symptoms that overlap with the symptoms of BPD. So - is it BPD or cPTSD?

In this talk, the latest hypotheses about the role of trauma creating and perpetuating the condition as well as important new discoveries from neurobiology will be discussed. Most importantly, potential new treatment approaches will also be discussed.

Jayashri Kulkarni commenced her appointment as Professor of Psychiatry, The Alfred and Monash University in 2002. She directs a large psychiatric research group, the Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre (MAPrc). The Centre is dedicated to discovering new treatments, new understanding and new services for people with a range of mental illnesses.

Jayashri was elected the President of the International Association of Women’s Mental Health, a role she held from 2017 -2019. She sits on many advisory boards for Government, the NHMRC, Industry and Universities.

Jayashri was recognised for her contribution to Medicine, particularly Psychiatry, by being made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 2019.
