The Neurophysiology of TBI and PTSD.

Transcription

1 The Neurophysiology of TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and PTSD () Applied neurophysiology approach to treatment and rehabilitation The Neurophysiology of TBI and PTSD. Applied neurophysiology approach to treatment and rehabilitation The neurophysiological approach to the treatment and rehabilitation of TBI and PTSD. The seminar is design to provide the participants with the most recent information about the treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In both cases, if the two of them are present or in the case that PTSD is the only health problem to be treated. The most recent research findings are discussed and all the diagnosis, treatment and follow up procedures are settled in order to give participants a comprehensive and well based update and training in two of the most common neurological a mental health conditions of our times. Seminar Dynamics. The seminar is integrated of theory and practice sessions designed to give the participants a full comprehensive information about the latest research, in the neurophysiological markers and treatment procedures for TBI and PTSD. Te bases of the neurophysiologial procedures for evaluation, treatment and follow up are settled and practice in order to give the participants a constant practice of all the procedures using the neurofeedback devices. All the QEEG procedures for intervention and report preparation are review in a deep and full detail. 1

2 The Seminar is designed for: Health care professionals interested in Bio and Neurofeedback treatment of TBI and PTSD. Neurologists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Objectives 1. At the end of the seminar participants have learned the most recent advances in the aapplied Neurophysiological treatment for both health conditions. 2. Participants will develop the proper skills for the operation of the Biofeedback and neurofeedback systems for the assessment, treatment follow up and report preparation. 3. Participants will develop the proper skills to sustain professional practice in the treatment of TBI and PTSD. Content. Theme Topics The Neurophysiology of TBI.
