PERSONALITY FOCUSED TREATMENT (PFT)® BASIC
Service Description
Improve your therapy and relationships by knowing how to work effectively with the different Personality Adaptations Many therapists find that their approach works well with some clients but not with others. Often, the challenge lies not in the method but in differences in personality adaptations. This workshop introduces a powerful model—developed by Paul Ware, M.D., Taibi Kahler, Ph.D., and further advanced by Vann Joines, Ph.D. that helps therapists recognize and work effectively with six core adaptations: Creative Daydreamer (schizoid) Brilliant Skeptic (paranoid) Charming Manipulator (antisocial) Playful Resister (passive-aggressive) Responsible Workaholic (obsessive-compulsive) Enthusiastic Overreactor (histrionic) LEARNING OBJECTIVES - List the six core personality adaptations. - Describe how the adaptations develop. - List the therapeutic doors for each adaptation. - Explain the difference between the surviving and performing adaptations. - List the primary drivers for each adaptation. - List the six personality adaptations - Summarize the influence of nature and nurture on the development of personality adaptations. - Explain the concepts of open door, target door, and trap door. - Briefly describe the five driver behaviors outlined by Bob and Mary Goulding. - List three examples of “cons” and their corresponding personality adaptations. - Explain how parenting style shapes personality development.
