Understanding the science of the brain can be the key to understanding the biological power of the "talking cure," according to Dr. Louis Cozolino, our Fall Symposium featured speaker. A facile lecturer, Cozolino elucidates complex scientific ideas using anecdotal clinical material and stories, making neuroscience relevant to psychotherapists of all levels.
Dr. Cozolino is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at Pepperdine University who has spent years researching and writing in the field of neuroscience and psychotherapy. He will take the audience on an exploration of neuroscience and its relationship to the underlying mechanisms of action in the therapeutic process.
Content areas will include: the affect of trauma on the brain; the brain's evolution in the human population; how psychotherapy addresses the evolution of the human brain; the affect of sociocultural experiences and identifications on the brain; how the brain's development may impact a patient's progress in psychotherapy; and how the psychotherapist's and patient's brains attune to, communicate with, and regulate one another.
If you have shied away from delving into this area of study in the past, this symposium is sure to provide a rich and compelling study and discussion.
Louis Cozolino, PhD holds degrees in philosophy, theology, and clinical psychology. He is the author of seven books, including "The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy," "The Healthy Aging Brain," and "Why Therapy Works." He has also authored and co-authored articles and book chapters on child abuse, schizophrenia, education, language, and cognition. Dr. Cozolino lectures around the world on brain development, evolution, and psychotherapy, and maintains a clinical and consulting practice in Los Angeles.
For over 45 years, The Psychotherapy Institute has provided affordable psychotherapy to Bay Area residents as well as continuing education and advanced training to psychotherapists.
