  • Chart strategies for intervention for identifying the impaired domains of integration

MOL 202 - Treatment Planning

  • Find where differentiation and linkage may be impaired
  • Identify the domain of integration that is not developed in a given individual, couple or family’s life
  • Choose an effective treatment strategy with the assistance of the domains, ranging from the integration of consciousness to interpersonal integration
  • Consider the development of the mind as an embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy and information
  • Understand the mind as it develops across the lifespan

MOL 203 - Therapeutic Interventions

  • Learn how stimulating neuronal activation and growth can promote integration across the identified domains
  • Understand IPNB view that for any therapy to be effective, it must change the brain
  • See how “SNAG” is used to stimulate neuronal activation and growth
  • Explore the powerful presence of the therapist in the therapeutic relationship
  • Review the principles of neuroplasticity and apply them to the implementation of therapeutic interventions
  • Learn how the close paying of attention, the sense of trust and receptivity created within the attuned therapeutic relationship and the specific forms of novelty promote integration
  • Explore how a therapist actually stays “present” in therapy while simultaneously keeping an eye on the movement of the individual toward integration

  • Hear why bringing health into families, schools, communities and organizations is a central goal of interpersonal neurobiology
  • Explore the opportunity we as mental health professionals have to not only define the mind, but also to illuminate the nature of a healthy mind
  • Extend this work out into the community to create a larger impact
  • Explore how to apply the basic IPNB principles of SNAGging the brain toward integration in ways that can have a positive ripple effect in creating well-being in our individual and collective lives
