Description

The very latest understanding of neuroscience and its implications for treatment
Strategies straight from neuroscience
Discover how therapy enhances neuroplasticity and decreases mental distress
Psychotherapy approaches that are supported by neuroscientific findings

We now know that all new learning depends on neuroplastic changes in the brain—the positive changes we see as a result of psychotherapy are no exception. Because of this, when you provide treatment and practice psychotherapy, you are an unwitting neuroscientist, optimizing plasticity though the caring relationships and the various techniques you employ in treatment.

Learn how to take full advantage of our new understanding of the brain to optimize the treatment you provide and improve the outcomes of your clients. Don’t miss this opportunity to understand neuroscience from one of the leading experts in the field. Dr. Louis Cozolino will provide you the very latest understanding and perspectives of psychotherapy and neuroscience.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
