Module 5: Unlocking the Default Mode Network

Description

The Default Mode Network (DMN) is one of the most important recent discoveries in affective neuroscience. As an important meta-system, it is a key player in functions related to the self and social cognition, memory processing, future thinking, and creative solution generation. Malfunctioning of this system and its interactions with two other key neurological systems contributes significantly with numerous psychological problems. This four-hour core clinical program will provide important foundational knowledge about the DMN in a systematic, readily understandable and easily digestible way and will help each attendee integrate emerging knowledge about the DMN into your clinical practice in a clinically appropriate and ethically compliant manner. In addition to bringing the clinician up to speed with this key area of knowledge, this course will provide practical tools and approaches to assist the clinician in providing more effective treatment for clients who present with an expansive number of symptoms and disorders.
