StressTherapy Solutions is proud to offer a brand-new workshop unlike any other before:
Use of Quantitative EEG in Setting Treatment Protocols for a Combined Neuro/Biofeedback, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Psychotherapy Session
March 22nd-24th, 2019
Crowne Plaza Cleveland South Independence
5300 Rockside Rd.
Independence, OH 44131
Instructors: Thomas Collura – PhD, QEEG-D, BCN, LPCC
Hasan Asif – Psychiatrist, MD
Total CEs: 14 – 16 Hours
The field of mental health is divided in its diagnostic and therapeutic approaches: Biological vs Psychological,Body Vs mind,Neurochemical intervention Vs Brain modulation.
There is a need for a comprehensive approach which brings different fields together on solid theoretical grounds- a methodology which enables us to bridge the gap in our understanding of different systems and offers a comprehensive multi modal therapeutic synthesis.
Brainwellness ctr diagnostic and treatment methodology is such an attempt. It involves comprehensive diagnostic evaluation integrating BIO stress TEST,qEEG analysis and psychodynamic formulations in one whole and then offers qEEG informed psychotropic use,BIO feedback,Neurofeedback,Brain modulation(trans-cranial magnetic stim) along with Psychotherapy in one integrated session.
This current presentation is to explore the theoretical basis of such an integration and its implementation in daily clinical setting
