Bill Eddy Four Day Workshop - Managing High Conflict Personalities in Legal Disputes
uon-logo-news-events-tile.jpg
The first day of this four-day professional development workshop will focus on managing high conflict personalities in dispute resolution. It will assist practising professionals recognise personality styles, choose appropriate intervention techniques, and maintain ethical principles while dealing with difficult people, both professionally and personally. The phenomenon of ‘negative advocates’ will also be examined. Negative advocates often add to the confusion and intensity of conflict. Many of the most effective methods of managing high-conflict people are counter-intuitive, so that practice and discussion are necessary to implement these methods, especially when under stress.
The next three days will look more closely at the five personality disorders: borderline, narcissistic, paranoid, antisocial and histrionic. The full workshop will cover techniques and interventions as well as exploring how high-conflict behaviours develop. Negotiation and mediation methods and a systems approach to high-conflict legal disputes in family law cases and workplace disputes will also be discussed in an engaging and interactive workshop format.
