CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION
Description: This conference is geared toward practicing psychotherapists and psychoanalysts. Dr. Solms will address the implications of recent neuroscientific findings concerning the brain mechanisms of emotion and memory for the clinical understanding and treatment of psychopathology. The objective is to make it possible for the targeted group to apply this knowledge in their clinical assessments and treatments.
CME Objectives:
- List the seven basic emotions of the human brain and their expression in psychopathology.
- Describe the different memory systems of the human brain, and how they express their workings consciously and unconsciously.
- Use their clinical techniques to take account of how the emotional brain works and how the different memory systems of the brain work.
