Recent developments in our understanding of the neurobiology of addiction have potential direct clinical relevance. Understanding how incentive salience contributes to the development of dysfunctional neural pathways in the reward circuit can help us understand how addictions develop. Perhaps more interestingly, this knowledge can also be used in enhancing our patients process of recovery. Simple, practical behavioral interventions (such as encouraging patients to develop new ways of experiencing contentment in recovery) can lead to the development of new, competitive neural pathways competing with the addictive pathways. These interventions can easily be integrated into our treatment plan by following recovery capitol.
Join us for our monthly live webinar learning series Addiction Psychiatry Advanced Psychotherapy Curriculum, targeted towards Addiction Psychiatrists, developed by the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) in collaboration with Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and NYU School of Medicine. The curriculum is tailored specifically to address the educational needs of faculty and fellows of Addiction Psychiatry residencies throughout the country, and open to all AAAP members. The course directors for this program are Christopher Blazes, MD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at OHSU, and David Stiffler, MD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU.
Participants will be introduced to advanced techniques from clinical experts that can be readily applied to real world clinical situations in the absence of formal, intensive psychotherapy training. Interact with peers and subject matter experts on topics such as narcissism, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavior therapy, and more.
You can access recordings of past events and registration for live webinars here. We’ll also send out emails to remind you.
*All live webinars are conducted from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm ET
