Objectives
  1. Communicate how an understanding of neurological processes can inform mental health professionals’ choice of therapeutic technique.
  2. Implement in-session psycho-educational techniques to make the neurobiology of mental health conditions understandable for clients thereby improving the potential for motivation and engagement in therapy.
  3. Establish how neural pathways are related to mental health disorders, and connect this information to the utilization of therapeutic interventions to reduce stress and manage addiction.
  4. Assess how research on the mechanisms of the brain that detect and respond to threats has enhanced our understanding of anxiety disorders in which altered threat processing is a factor.
  5. Characterize the role of memory in trauma and communicate how memory malleability impacts the treatment of clients with traumatic memories.
  6. Articulate how mindfulness can be used as an adjunctive approach in cognitive-behavioral treatment plans to help manage symptoms of depression.
