🧠 Lecture: "Personality Disorders in Your News and Neighborhood"
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Tomas Yufik
Join us for an eye-opening evening as Dr. Tomas Yufik unpacks what personality disorders truly are—and what they aren’t. He will explain how clinicians actually diagnose personality disorders, why media and film so often misrepresent them, and what current research reveals about effective treatment.
Dr. Yufik will also tackle common myths, including the belief that people with personality disorders can’t change. Drawing on real-world clinical insight, he’ll explore how meaningful growth is possible and what it looks like in therapy.
To keep things lively, Dr. Yufik peppers his talk with vivid examples from celebrity culture and popular media, making complex clinical ideas engaging, accessible, and entertaining for a general audience.
Dr. Tomas Yufik is a distinguished professor of psychology and clinical psychologist who has taught at UCLA, the University of Maryland, and UCSD. His deep expertise in personality and psychopathology will challenge your assumptions and spark thoughtful conversation.
