Michael Harvey leads CE course on Neuropsychoanalytically Informed Models of Treatment for Individuals With Brain Injury

#176: Neuropsychoanalytically Informed Models of Treatment for Individuals With Brain Injury
Course Level: Intermediate

Traumatic brain injury is a significant health problem. Psychiatric and emotional sequelae to TBI serve as the greatest obstacle to recovery. Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel has called for the development of a comprehensive model of mind starting from the psychoanalytic theory to inform neuroscientific research. This INTERMEDIATE workshop will present scientific findings supporting an emerging neuropsychoanalytic model of mind. Application of neuropsychoanalytic theory for rehabilitation of brain injury will be discussed, including outcome data. Neuropsychoanalytically informed psychotherapy and supervision will be demonstrated via role-play.

This workshop is designed to help you: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical and neuroscientific basis of Neuropsychoanalytically informed psychotherapy for individuals with brain injury, 2. Discuss the application of neuropsychoanalytically informed psychotherapy for persons with brain injury within the context of rehabilitation, 3. Discuss the application of theoretical and neuroscientific principles underlying neuropsychoanalytically informed psychotherapy with individuals who have suffered brain injury and identify three examples of this work from role play and discussion, and 4. Discuss the provision of neuropsychoanalytic supervision and identify at least three ways in which this would differ from other models of supervision from role-play and discussion.
