WAU Offers Graduate Neurotherapy Course on Two Sundays this Summer – June 3 and 17
Takoma Park, MD.(May 22, 2018)—The WAU School of Graduate and Professional Studies (SGPS) announced that a new graduate psychology course elective, “CPSY 692 Topics: Neurotherapy,” will be offered this summer in two Sunday-afternoon sessions, June 3 and 17. The course will be taught on campus in Room 404 of Wilkinson Hall, 7600 Flower Avenue, Takoma Park, Maryland from 2-6 p.m.
Dr. Patricia N. Hudson Henry (photo attached) will be the instructor. The course will feature interactive presentations; brain structure and function in relation to mental illness (neuroanatomy and neurophysiology for therapists); neural plasticity and how it reorganizes synaptic connections to facilitate learning throughout a lifetime (neuroplasticity); and how electronic monitoring of bodily functions improves mental states (biofeedback and neurofeedback). EEGs (electroencephalography), how different brain waves tell the story about mental health (depression, anxiety), professional ethics in neurotherapy, and how to introduce neurotherapy into private practice will also be covered.
“We are excited to offer this new, envelope-pushing look at the latest developments in brain science,” said Nicole Currier, Interim SGPS Dean. “We particularly invite mental health practitioners looking to expand their training in this emerging field to join us for this unique opportunity.”
The “Topics: Neuropathy” course is open to existing Washington Adventist University graduate students, as well as to non-degree seeking individuals who already hold a bachelor’s degree. Individuals who complete the course will receive one graduate credit, which will be transcripted by the university. The cost of the course is $625 which includes all materials.
