Description
Description:
How a clinician thinks about the nature of depression and answers fundamental questions – such as what causes depression – naturally determine what treatment approach he or she is most likely to take. Regardless of one’s preferred orientation, however, depression experts agree that treatment needs to be multi-dimensional and active. Furthermore, the more we learn about the neuroscience of depression, especially neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, the more important well designed experiential learning processes become in treatment. These include the use of task assignments and focusing processes such as hypnosis which we’ll explore in this address.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe the role of social forces in shaping depression.
- Describe the role of experiential learning in effective treatment.
