Session 11: Practical Neuropsychiatry for Clinicians Part 1 (Aug 7-8)

Egg Harbor, WI US
August 7, 2017 to August 8, 2017

An appreciation of the neurological and cognitive origin of difficult behaviors allows the clinician to develop an understanding of factors that cause behavioral syndromes to appear different in different individuals.  Combining knowledge of behavioral neuroanatomy and pharmacology with careful bedside cognitive assessment and traditional psychiatric evaluation techniques can open doors to helping patients and families understand neuropsychiatric symptoms and helping clinicians implement individualized treatments.

Dr. Benjamin will review common neuropsychiatric syndromes with a focus on neurobehavioral presentation and bedside assessment of cognitive and neurological deficits.  Sessions will include background material on the syndromes being discussed, imaging, video clips, instruction on bedside cognitive assessment, case discussion, and historical vignettes.
