Description:

The aim of this short course is to present the therapeutic work developed with children affected by learning difficulties. A cartoon video created to make children aware of their own learning processes will be presented. As the majority of learning difficulty cases are a clear emotional component, some very effective Ericksonian resources will be exemplified with several practical cases.

Educational Objectives:

1. List the four cognitive processes that underlie learning processes.
2. Analyze the relationship between affection in each cognitive process and the consequent difficulty in the learning process.
3. Describe the way to identify a behavior shown by a child as a clear emotionally defensive one.
4. State three appropriate Ericksonian techniques to cope with learning difficulties and emotional defensive behavior.
