Integrating Contemporary Neuroscience into Clinical Social Work Practice
Friday December 3rd, 2010 9-4:30 pm	Presenter - Julie M. Rosenzweig Recent advances in neuroscience have significantly changed our conceptualization of well-being, including interpersonal relationships, information processing, and the effects of traumatic stress and adversity. Integrating neuroscience knowledge into practice invites practitioners to re-evaluate their current methods of assessment and intervention, add greater specificity to their work, and enhance thir clinical skills. During this workshop, participants gain a clear understanding of the neural processes underlaying emotional regulation, aggression, memory encoding, learning, and risk-reward, as well as the role of early attachment experiences and psychological traumatic events on brain functioning. Building on this foundation, a framework for applying relational neuroscience in practice is presented using brain-based principles of change and neuro-integrative therapeutic strategies.
