Sponsored by River Crest Hospital and ASU College of Nursing and Allied Health
3 CEUs (Nurse CEUs available!) No Fee
Lecture Hall in Math Computer Science Building on ASU campus
8:30 am to 11:30 am

A vast scientific literature has shown that impulsive aggression is more biological than premeditated aggression, and more responsive to medication. Children and adolescents who commit impulsive aggression are different in both Neuropsychology and Neurophysiology measures. At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to recognize the subtypes of aggressive behavior most likely to benefit from pharmacological intervention, explain the role of neurophysiological testing in the assessment of impulsive or explosive aggression in the child or adolescent, and recognize which medications will target the underlying diagnosis, and which are just used as sedation to control acute agitation.


AUGUST 28, 2010

"The Faces of PTSD"
Jan Lentz LCSW, BCD
MHMR 1501 W Beauregard, 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm 3 CEUs, No Fee

As the number of critical incidents rise in this country and the world, there is a greater need to understand the mental health needs of victims and their families. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has been a formal diagnosis since 1980, but what do we really know about PTSD other than confirming the diagnosis and processing the trauma? This workshop will explore the differences in Adjustment Disorder and PTSD along with the differences in combat trauma and non-combat trauma. Helpful activities that have been developed in working with combat trauma victims will be presented.
