Narcissistic, Borderline, and Psychopathic Personality Types in Addiction Treatment, Part 1

Full title of this talk is "Narcissistic, Borderline, and Psychopathic Personality Types in Addiction Treatment: A Psychodynamic Understanding"

Part 1 of 2 of a presentation at WCSAD 2016 by Evan Miller, PhD. The description of the talk follows:

"Narcissistic. Borderline. Psychopathic. Each of these names elicit a charged affective response. This presentation will undertake a deep understanding of these personality types as they each pertain to the addict or alcoholic. As a large portion of drug and alcohol treatment utilizes a cognitive-behavioral approach for case conceptualization, this presentation will follow the work of McWilliams and offer a psychodynamic understanding of addictive behavior. Key attention will be given to defensive structure and pattern recognition as important components for case conceptualization, thus ushering in a deeper understanding of our clients’ motivations, both conscious and unconscious."
