Adult Psychotherapy Courses to Treat psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES)
This section offers a variety of psychotherapy courses to treat adults diagnosed with PNES. The goal is to provide clinicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively, safely, and confidently with adult clients who have non-epileptic seizures.
Below, you will find a comprehensive list of online and on-demand course topics that are part of this section (check back regularly because the list will be expanding):
- Scientifically validated psychotherapies to use with adults with non-epileptic seizures
- How psychotherapeutic approaches can be tailored to target non-epileptic seizures
- How to use disorder-specific psychotherapies for dually diagnosed patients
- Seizure-safety issues in the clinician’s office and outside
- How neuropsychological testing can help the clinician develop a treatment plan for psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES).
Benefits to Taking these Courses
- Increased knowledge and skills for working therapeutically with a patient who has been diagnosed with non-epileptic seizures.
- Increased confidence when working with these patients. Clinicians will feel better prepared in the event of a seizure during a session and will have the necessary information to be able to respond to questions that may come up in session.
Characteristics of these Courses
- The courses were designed to be relatively brief yet comprehensive. They can be paused and resumed on demand, and sections can be viewed out of order if necessary.
- The cost of the courses has been kept low in order to make these as accessible as possible to students while also covering the cost of managing the website.
- All courses are taught by professionals who are specialists in treating psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES)
