Join for our next Grand Rounds with Dr. Bo Bach on April 1 for a discussion on Applications of AMPD and ICD-11 Personality Functioning and Trait Specifiers in Clinical Practice.

This webinar will explore how AMPD Criterion A and Criterion B correspond with the ICD-11 distinctions between severity and trait domain specifiers, and what this shift means for clinical practice. Using the Diagnostic Interview for Personality Pathology based on ICD-11 (DIPP 11) and clinical case examples, Dr. Bach will demonstrate how assessing personality functioning can support more individualized diagnosis, case formulation, and treatment planning.

Join us on March 4 for an in-depth Grand Rounds with Dr. Jacob Palm exploring the assessment of self and identity through the Wartegg Drawing Completion Test using the Crisi Wartegg System.

This presentation will examine how performance-based assessment can deepen our understanding of identity consolidation, self-concept, shame and defenses, adaptive capacity, and self-functioning as defined by the AMPD.

Dr. Palm will review foundational principles of Wartegg interpretation and highlight how test-derived data can inform diagnosis, treatment planning, and an idiographic understanding of the whole person. Clinicians will gain practical insight into evaluating identity-based patterns such as independence versus dependence, narcissistic and deflation defenses, and shame-based self-concept.
