About

Offenders, personality disordered individuals, and resistant clients often deny responsibility for their problematic behaviors and abusive acts, either outright or by blaming other factors, including victims. Accountability is necessary in creating change in clients, for their choices and to address their personality factors. Dr. Myers will discuss this issue in terms of fostering a sense of agency and improving accountability in difficult clients. (90 minutes) * 1.5 CE credits
