The DSM IV Personality Disorders (…According to Joe Walsh!): Understanding and Managing Difficult Clients in Family Law Cases - Video On-Demand
Program Description:
Family Law attorneys often work with clients who can be very difficult. These “high conflict” personalities seem unable or unwilling to find workable solutions and appear stuck in patterns of thinking and behaving that create high levels of drama and acrimony. And, of course, their problems are always someone else's fault.
Joe Walsh's 1978 song, Life's Been Good to Me So Far, about life as a rock star, aptly describes the dramatic, outrageous, and sometimes weird personalities often seen by family law attorneys, CFIs and CLRs. Join us for an informative and entertaining two-hour program that looks at the role of personality disorders in high conflict cases.
This program will cover:
- When to consider that your client may have a personality disorder: What to bear in mind
- A short history of the DSM and Axis II Personality Disorders: What does it all mean?
- What is a normal versus a “disordered” personality?
- Five commonly seen “high conflict” personalities in legal disputes
- How different personalities function and what you can expect
- Key points for dealing with difficult personalities in legal disputes
