Conference
Description |
The first day of the
conference will be divided into two
plenary sessions designed to set the context of BPD for commissioners
of
services and developers of new services. The morning session will be
devoted to
an overview of biopsychosocial models of BPD, and the experiences of
service
users and families of living with BPD. The afternoon will examine the
evidence
for developmental experiences leading to BPD and the longitudinal
outcome of
BPD.
The second day of the
conference will be devoted to brief
presentations of a wide range of therapeutic models and models of
service
delivery, and open question time for considering the applicability of
these
models both in the UK
and
the USA.
The conference will finish with speakers from the Department of Health
in the UK and a
major health care provider in the USA delineating
the funding context in which services may develop. |
