This 5-day lecture sequence covers a wide range of topics on the relationship between the brain and the mind in health and disease. Brain mechanisms of major cognitive functions and disorders affecting cognition will be reviewed. The course is intended for psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other mental health professionals. The number of participants will be limited to enable active audience participation. EFTA00838702 The lectures are presented by Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP., a clinical neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist with more than 30 years of experience. Goldberg's research has spanned a wide range of topics, including executive functions, hemispheric specialization, memory, and functional cortical organization. His clinical practice spans a wide range of neuropsychological disorders, including traumatic brain injury, dementias, neurodevelopmental disorders, and forensic neuropsychology. Goldberg has authored several highly acclaimed books that have been translated into close to 20 languages. Goldberg is also a sought-after educator who lectures worldwide. 40 Continuing Education Credits for a 5-day sequence (8 credits a day) will be offered to the interested participants. Dates and time: January 16, February 20, March 19, April 23, May 21, 2016. From 8am to 6pm (with a lunch break and two short breaks).
