A universal experience of crisis call centers is burnout among staff because of seemingly endless, often repetitive interactions with callers who are in distress and suicidal but do not respond to the usual suggestions of self-care or follow-up. An hour-long phone call can leave the worker exhausted and the caller in worse shape than at the beginning of the call. By the same token, staff in community mental health who provide ongoing treatment for individuals also face burnout as their efforts fail to provide an end to a crisis or change in the individual’s overwhelming problems of daily living.
Often, the problem stems from a lack of understanding of the nature of the interaction between the treater and care seeker. A common source of confusion arises when a personality disorder is involved. In that case, the client has a different goal than the worker. The client is trying to use the interpersonal interaction to self-treat.
This 2-hour training will provide basic information about personality disorders – specifically borderline, dependent, and antisocial personality. We will discuss how these disorders baffle caregivers and loved ones who are only trying to help.
