Professional training in pathological relationships

Until recently, little has been understood about the insidious relational harm that goes undetected in millions of relationships by Partners/Persons who Display Psychopathic Traits (PDPT).

This is often not the presenting issue in therapy and the disguised nature of the perpetrator (often seen as the saviour), together with lack of professional awareness that such a complex and damaging relational phenomenon exists, can lead to mis-diagnosis or missing the symptoms in the partner victim altogether. Moreover, research reveals that the presentation of PDPT partners is also not consistent with that of many victims of domestic psychological abuse, which further compounds confusion.

Resulting from a combination of the findings of formal research, many years of collaborative investigation and personal clinical experience with this client base, I now offer informed training to psychotherapeutic professionals. I introduce essential knowledge about the dynamics of psychopathic abuse; presentation, diagnosis and treatment of the complex and atypical trauma that it inflicts over time and my model of recovery that is specific to this client base.

This work is urgent. There is a pandemic of sufferers who deserve the right informed support.
