Course Overview
This 6-hour core clinical program will provide important information in a systematic, readily understandable and easily digestible way about how to integrate emerging neuroscience into your clinical practice in a clinically appropriate and ethically compliant manner.
We will uncover and explore the foundational knowledge base of emerging affective neuroscience that is fundamentally reshaping the field of mental health practice and changing what is considered best practices in the 21st Century.
This new information will not overwrite or negate the approaches and techniques you are already using effectively in your clinical work, but will rather expand and enhance your effectiveness with a deeper understanding about what works and why it works – while also providing new options based upon better science.
This is the second program of a series of programs designed to help Master’s level clinicians advance their knowledge base in the integration of neuroscience into their practice.
This program will provide extensive handouts to support the acquisition of knowledge in this area.
Upon completing our workshop, you will be able to:
1. Describe some of the most important foundational knowledge from emerging neuroscience that is relevant for clinical practice but largely unexplored by most Master’s level clinicians. 2. Identify the areas of neuroscience that are most relevant to the work that you do and the population(s) that you work with. 3. Incorporate the key vocabulary of affective neuroscience into your clinical knowledge base. 4. Apply your knowledge of neuroscience and other emerging clinical knowledge to extending your skills in a clinically appropriate and ethically compliant manner. 5. Utilize emerging knowledge to provide more precise, concise and effective psychoeducation to clients as an adjunct to direct client-clinician interaction. 6. Integrate knowledge from neuroscience into current approaches and techniques such as CBT, DBT, EFT, systems and psychodynamic approaches in order to extend their effectiveness. 7. Apply 21st Century case conceptualization incorporating neuroscience
