Back to Package

This program will address the dynamics of working with clients with high conflict personalities and personality disorders. The goal is to increase your understanding of the different types of personality disorders and types of high conflict personalities most likely to be encountered in divorce settlement discussions, how these characteristics can impact negotiations, and what you, as the professional, can do about it. Being able to recognize these dynamics and learning how to better communicate with and manage these types of clients in the divorce process will allow you to be more successful (and less frustrated) during the settlement discussions and negotiations.
