Training Format
Online workshops are conducted via the Zoom platform.
All workshops are recorded and made available in the personal account of each participant, allowing you to revisit the parts of the training that are most important to you.

What Makes This Program Special?
To illustrate the theoretical concepts, Dr. Otto Kernberg will conduct public clinical supervision for two supervisees throughout the program, each presenting a case of prolonged psychotherapy. These supervisions will focus on two cases involving patients with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
This unique approach offers practical insights into applying theoretical concepts to complex therapeutic cases. Participants will gain valuable experience by observing the therapy’s progression and analyzing Dr. Kernberg’s recommendations. Additionally, during discussions, you will have the opportunity to ask Dr. Kernberg questions about the supervision process.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) remains one of the most discussed and challenging disorders to treat. A common misconception is that all patients with NPD are untreatable; however, this is a myth. Drawing on over 60-years of clinical research, Otto Kernberg demonstrates that effective therapy for NPD is possible and can lead to substantial outcomes.
On December 14, 2024, we will host the first workshop of Module II, focusing on narcissistic disorder and hypomanic dynamics.
The December 14 workshop will provide an in-depth look at the following topics on NPD:
• concept of healthy narcissism
• etiology of narcissistic personality disorder
• psychological dynamics of the narcissistic personality
• specific ego structure characteristic of narcissistic personality disorder
• pathology of the superego in narcissistic personality disorder
• envy and hatred: dynamics of aggression in narcissism
• primary psychological defenses in narcissistic personalities
• characteristics of acting-out behaviors typical in narcissistic personality disorder
• symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder
• manic and hypomanic dynamics
• dynamics of love and sexual life—from promiscuity to severe inhibition
• emptiness and boredom
• transference and countertransference in work with narcissistic personalities
• negative therapeutic reactions
• malignant narcissism syndrome
• differential diagnosis
• distinguishing narcissistic personality disorder with malignant narcissism syndrome from antisocial personality disorder
• psychotherapy for narcissistic personality disorder
• prognosis for treating these pathologiesc

Languages
We provide a comprehensive bilingual environment at our workshops, webinars, and trainings to ensure that participants fluent in either English or Ukrainian feel equally comfortable.
If the instructor uses slides, we ensure that bilingual slides are prepared, and if he/she uses videos, we subtitle them so that each participant feels equally comfortable learning. Audio broadcasting is done through separate audio channels, particularly in English and Ukrainian. Furthermore, participants in both languages find it equally convenient to ask questions and engage in discussions.
