Join Us For Two Days This Spring To Learn About Topics Important To Every Psychologist We want to welcome you to the Annual Spring Convention of the Michigan Psychological Association. We are fortunate to have Dr. Philip Erdberg who will address us on the topic of personality disorders. This presentation is the last in a trilogy of outstanding seminars organized by the Program Committee around the theme of the disowned self. Looking at that theme from many different theoretic perspectives, as well as from both an evaluative and treatment perspective, Drs. Steven Finn, Colin Ross, and Philip Erdberg generously share their insights and skills in understanding and treating these difficult clinical problems. Dr. Erdberg's two-day conference is a useful opportunity for our members to network and become more familiar with colleagues throughout Michigan. Not a current member of MPA? No problem! We would like to meet you and welcome you into our active community of fellow Psychologists. CE credits are available in compliance with APA guidelines. Our Annual Spring Convention is held at the Henry Center, an easily accessible location adjacent to the campus of Michigan State University. Feel free to bring your family as we will have guides full of activities to see and do around Lansing. We look forward to seeing you in April. William Bloom, Ph.D., President Richard Lobenthal, President Lunch & Learn
And much more . . . MPA Annual Business Meeting: Friday, 4:30 - 5:00 p.m. Gala Awards Banquet: Friday, 5:30 p.m. Cocktails; 6:30 p.m. Dinner Our Featured Speaker Philip Erdberg, Ph.D. ABPP Dr. Erdberg is a diplomate in clinical psychology of the American Board of Professional Psychology. He is a past-president of the Society for Personality Assessment, the 1995 recipient of the Society's Distinguished Contribution Award, and the 2001 recipient of the Outstanding Achievement Award of the Forensic Mental Health Association of California. Dr. Erdberg is on the faculty of the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute and is an assistant clinical professor at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine. He consults in a variety of school, clinical, and correctional settings, and is a frequent workshop presenter. Understanding and Treating Personality Disorders: A Clinical Update The pervasively maladaptive patterns of experience and behavior that cause so much difficulty for individuals first came into the diagnostic nomenclature in 1980 with the DSM-III's description of Axis II personality disorders. In the ensuing 30 years, a tremendous amount of research and clinical data has accumulated, suggesting that these disorders are best understood from a bio-psycho-social viewpoint. This workshop updates the literature and provides practical information about assessment and intervention for these challenging disorders.
