Jennifer Sweeton, Psy.D.
ON-LINE REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED.
Summary:
Due to advances in neuroscience research, the field of clinical psychology has substantially progressed in its understanding of the neural bases of addiction, trauma, and psychotherapy. Basic knowledge of the neuroscience underlying psychotherapeutic approaches, as well as the neural profiles of mental illness (such as addiction and trauma), allow clinicians to understand the mechanisms of mental health treatment. An understanding of these mechanisms helps psychologists and other mental health professionals select effective, efficient techniques that aim to alter specific brain activation and connectivity for recovery. This seminar, led by clinical expert Dr. Jennifer Sweeton, shares up-to-date research on the neuroscience of trauma, addiction, and medical illness, and teaches highly effective psychotherapy techniques clinicians can begin using tomorrow to help clients recover.
Learning objectives:
- Name at least 4 key brain structures involved in addiction and trauma.
- Learn and practice at least two brain-changing techniques that reduce trauma symptoms.
- Learn and practice at least two brain-changing techniques that can help clients manage addiction.
- Identify at least one evidence-based therapy approach for dual diagnosis treatments.
- Define “prodependence” and explain why this can be a helpful conceptualization for clients and their family members.
- Name two ways in which trauma affects a developing brain differently than an adult brain.
- Describe at least one unique consideration that can make treating adolescents with trauma challenging.
