Title: SET Method Post by: Jane534 on October 11, 2022, 09:23:31 AM Hello! I work with adults that are on the spectrum and have BPD. I want to master the SET method so that I can train teams...is there an online training that might be available?
Title: Re: SET Method Post by: PearlsBefore on October 11, 2022, 10:43:37 AM Hi, glad you found your way here; technically the thread is in the incorrect subforum (this is more for technical website issues) so will be moved, and then the URL will change and a new one provided...don't be surprised, it may look like it's been deleted but it hasn't, just moved.
That said, I didn't instantly recognise SET - but google-fu shows https://peoplepsych.com/support-empathy-truth-set-for-borderline-personality/ which says "SET stands for SUPPORT, EMPATHY, and TRUTH. It was developed by Jerold J. Kreisman, MD, and Hal Straus, the authors of I Hate You, Don’t Leave Me and Sometimes I Act Crazy." Technically I wasn't a large fan of that book-set as I found them overly conciliatory - and while the pwBPD who gave them to me was a fan of the "flattering" description of techniques, etc - they didn't seem to actually work. That said, of course every case is slightly different - so I'm not saying it's a bad system, just that in my experience the Kreisman/Straus methods were a little too feel-good. Then again, I'm also a relatively strong critic of Marsha Linehan - so maybe I'm just overly critical. (I criticise Kreger's lack of depth in writing, but her actual analysis of BPD seems legit). Personally I'll always ship/cheer Kernberg and Lawson as the best insights without pulling any punches, though it may be that I lean towards the Austrian school as the methods are more Freudian (in the real sense, not the "do yoga and picture yourself as a lotus flower emerging while you're in your mother's bed" sense that one professional in our family's life has recently attempted to my strong condemnation). Title: Re: SET Method Post by: Jane534 on October 11, 2022, 11:02:43 AM Thank you for your input. My job is a bit different...I am an LCSW...but I work more on the behavioral/training side of things. We support adults with complex mental health needs, but also have a diagnosis of intellectual disabilities and/or autism. It is so hard to find good resources for my cases. The SET method might help my clients feel "heard". Any resources that you can recommend is really apprectiated!
