Members of the PDI have presented theoretical issues and data analyses at various conferences in the U.S. and Europe. This includes seminars at the American Psychiatric Association (Kernberg, Caligor, Clarkin, Yeomans), Madrid, Spain (Clarkin), German Psychiatric Association, Berlin (Clarkin), Amsterdam (Clarkin, Yeomans), UCSF Conference in Honor of Robert Wallerstein (Kernberg), Copenhagen (Clarkin), Icelandic Psychiatric Association (Yeomans, Clarkin), University of New Mexico Medical School (Clarkin), Wisconsin Psychological Association (Clarkin), conferences sponsored by the National Educational Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder (NEABPD) in Dallas, Los Angeles, London (Yeomans).
The PDI has made outreach to families who have members with severe personality disorders and potential donors through the creation of a newsletter. The PDI and the Borderline Disorder Research Foundation sponsored a conference on the assessment and treatment of adolescents with severe personality disorders. Dr. Paulina Kernberg (deceased) was the principle organizer of this conference, combined with administrative organization by Jill Delaney.
