Fireside chat with Dr. Michael Hollander

​November’s event will welcome renowned clinical expert Dr. Michael R. Hollander as he shares his four decades of experience in working with adolescents with borderline personality disorder, many of whom engage in serious non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviors. The fireside chat will offer our community with an ideal opportunity to share experiences with an expert who recognizes the importance of shining a light on the clinician experience. His distinguished career as a clinician, mentor, and leader of the field has not only shaped programming and approaches to adolescent treatment but emphasized the importance of cultivating strong therapist support, a sentiment that inspired Mindframe’s mission. With a remarkable legacy and wealth of knowledge, we are delighted to have Dr. Hollander join us in exploring and discussing those hard to tackle topics that every clinician must inevitably face.

​Some of the topics we plan to discuss:

• ​The therapist's role and stance in treatment, especially when working with clients with difficulties managing their emotions and reactions towards others

• ​How we learn from therapeutic failures

• ​⁠The importance of the human connection while balancing effectiveness and clinical integrity

​PLEASE NOTE: That for educational and promotional purposes the discussion with Dr. Hollander will be video recorded.
