Participants will review videos of master clinicians (Otto Kernberg and Salmon Ahktar) conducting psychotherapy sessions with patients exhibiting classic symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorders and Borderline Personality Disorders. Supplemental readings will enhance participants’ understanding of the technical concepts presented in the videos.
