Course Details
- There is no recognized field of study called "Geriatric Histrionic Personality Disorder." Histrionic Personality Disorder is a personality disorder that can affect people of any age, including older adults. However, the presentation and treatment might differ based on age. A graduate certificate program focusing on this would likely incorporate elements from geriatric care and personality disorder treatment. Therefore, potential units might include:
- Geriatric Assessment and Diagnosis
- Psychopathology of Personality Disorders in Older Adults
- Differential Diagnosis in Late-Life Psychiatric Conditions
- Psychopharmacology for Older Adults with Personality Disorders
- Psychotherapy Modalities for Histrionic Personality Disorder
- Ethical and Legal Issues in Geriatric Mental Health
- Caregiver Support and Intervention
- Geriatric Neuropsychology and its Relevance to Personality Disorders
- Research Methods in Geriatric Mental Health
- Note: The exact units offered would depend on the specific institution offering the (hypothetical) certificate.
