A fantastic first #PSIConf25 keynote from @LeoISTDP, exploring Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and the inseparable connection between mind and body, and showing how psychologically informed, multidisciplinary care can promote recovery.
An inspiring session highlighting innovation, compassion and integration in neuropsychological practice.

I highly recommend this training with Dr Allan Abbass, who is the foremost expert on @ISTDP for FND.
This will give you a theoretical understanding of how emotional processes can be linked to functional symptoms & what to do in therapy sessions to help the patient resolve this.

This conference has presentations from both @ISTDP Dr Allan Abbass and @Mark_Solms. It's like getting The Beatles & Elvis in their prime together @glastonbury. An absolute must for any therapists interested in understanding & working with emotion.

Great pleasure to provide the 13th Norway Immersion in ISTDP. A privilege to work with great co trainers and learners, most of whom are fully supported by Norway government funding. Norway is leading the way in widely using this highly cost effective, efficacious treatment.
