April 3, 2025

This full-day professional development session will feature Dr. Rebecca Shiner presenting a training titled, Understanding & Treating Personality Problems With School-age Students.

NASP President Dr. Peter Faustino will provide opening remarks on how School Psychologists are catalysts in action!


Dr. Shiner's workshop will focus on understanding and treating personality dysfunction and pathology in school-aged youth.  She will provide an overview of the DSM-5-TR and the Big Five Framework of personality dysfunction using a developmental lens incorporating the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation findings, which began in 1975 and continues through today.   Personality dysfunction adds clinical complexity for students in our schools.  This session will help you to be aware of signs and symptoms that indicate the presence of personality dysfunction.  You will also learn to use effective interventions and counseling approaches to support these students in school when the typical CBT and social skills techniques are ineffective.  Case studies will be presented and reviewed with time allotted to discuss treatment approaches among colleagues.  You will leave this session with a richer understanding of challenging students and a set of tools to begin implementing when you return to your school.

Dr. Shiner is the Charles A. Dana Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Colgate University where she has been on the faculty since 1999.  She has published extensively focusing on personality, developmental psychology, and clinical psychology.  She is an editor of the Handbook of Personality Development which was published by Guilford Press in 2019 and the Handbook of Temperament which was published in 2012 by Guilford Press.  She is a Fellow of the  Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
