The Impulsive Brain

The Biology of Mind In Practice

• Do you find yourself puzzled by the growing array of psychiatric diagnoses associated with individuals who suffer with behavioral Impulsivity?
  
• Have you become frustrated with the challenges in correcting impulsive behavior in your office, school, or work setting?
  
• Do you wonder why meds don’t work, and what alternatives are out there for more comprehensive, safer treatment planning?

Dr Parker has presented parts of this program to a variety of audiences from Spero Retreat in Beverly Hills, to Psychotherapy Networker in Washington, DC, and to Patrick Carnes‘ IITAP Group in Scottsdale AZ [International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals] - each with rave reviews.

With a focus on using new technology to help with Diagnosis, from Brain Imaging to precise Metabolic and Neurotransmitter Testing, we can prevent more deterioration, and correct long standing impulsivity problems not previously addressed. Yes, we already know our nervous system responds to brain and body challenges with emotional deterioration and unpredictability. Knowing how to specifically measure and understand the biologic orignis of these variables will help everyday health delivery on many levels.

Topics for the day:
— ADHD - The missing links to diagnosis and treatment
— Brain Injury - The Elephant in the Room with Impulsivity
— Bipolar Impulsivity - the Origins and New Treatments for Moods and Impulsivity
— Addictions and Impulsivity: Recovery, Relationships, and Self Management

Brain biology should always drive brain ‘pharmacology’ - indeed any intervention process.
