BPD Compass (Cognitive-behavioral Modules for Personality Symptoms) is a short-term, customizable treatment for people with BPD and commonly comorbid conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, substance use, PTSD). This workshop will first briefly review the theories of BPD that underscored the development of BPD Compass. This will be followed by a description and demonstration of how to apply core BPD Compass modules, along with the similarities and differences between the BPD Compass and traditional CBT. Audio and videotaped illustrations of core treatment interventions (e.g., mindful awareness, emotion exposures) will be presented, along with detailed case examples involving complex comorbidity.
