Webinar "Diagnosis of personality levels according to O. Kernberg"

We invite you to a webinar dedicated to the practical application of Kernberg's diagnostic model in the therapist's office.

This meeting is a professional analysis of clinical tools.

In clinical practice, we often encounter patients whose complaints overlap, creating the illusion of multiple disorders at the same time.

Instead of focusing only on symptoms or spending months intuitively searching for causes in childhood memories, Otto Kernberg's structural approach offers a clear and empathetic map for understanding a person's inner world.

What we will analyze in the webinar:

Structured interview diagram: we will get acquainted in detail with the cyclical diagnostic scheme and learn to navigate it step by step during the session.
Analysis of initial contact: what non-verbal markers and interaction features should be paid attention to from the first minutes of the meeting.
Symptom or character: how to ecologically differentiate whether a patient's anxiety is a separate symptom or has already become part of their characterological structure.
Identity research: how to carefully explore the integrity of the patient's perception of themselves and others, and why identity diffusion is often disguised as other states.
Working with contradictions: how to therapeutically use the technique of confrontation, highlighting the patient's contradictory manifestations without destroying the alliance and security
Countertransference as a diagnostic radar: how to separate one's own emotional processes from the patient's primitive defense mechanisms (in particular, projective identification).

Who is this webinar for:

• Practicing psychologists and psychotherapists who want to deepen their skills in clinical diagnosis and structural assessment of personality.

• Students of psychological and psychotherapeutic directions who seek to better understand the principles of psychodynamic diagnosis and learn to apply them in practice.
• Support professionals who work with people and want to develop clinical thinking, better understand the internal organization of the personality and the features of therapeutic interaction.
• Therapists who are faced with complex clinical cases and are looking for a more structured approach to understanding symptoms, characterological features and the dynamics of the therapeutic process.

The webinar will be useful both for beginners who are just getting acquainted with the Kernberg model, and for experienced specialists who seek to systematize their knowledge and enrich their diagnostic tools.
