Learning unit contents

The aim of this course is to integrate the content of the evaluation (PSYC0096) and intervention (PSYC0095) courses by means of clinical cases. These cases will also provide an opportunity to discuss with you specific issues to clinical practice in neuropsychology (assessment, rehabilitation, semiologies). Some topics have been chosen for their interest in being addressed at the end of your course, taking advantage of the courses you have already taken and the experience you have acquired during your internship(for example, ethical or deontological issues, or the problem of communicating the results of a neuropsychological assessment to the patient or his family, etc.) The course will thus enable you to go into greater depth on certain subjects that have been seen in a more superficial way in previous courses.

In concrete terms, two clinical vignettes will enable you to work in a group on the various stages of neuropsychological treatment, from the presentation of the conclusions to the construction of the material.

You will be required to:

- Role-play a conclusion and determine the treatment objectives
- Read about possible interventions and discuss them with experts
- Prioritise management
- Construct materials and conceptualise the intervention agenda
- Present the intervention logic and your material orally and in writing.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the course, you should be able to:



  • Carry out a concluding discussion with the patient and/or his family, 
  • Develop a therapeutic plan,

Attendance at face-to-face exercise sessions is compulsory, as these will be used to work on essential skills. Failure to attend 2 exercise sessions without a medical certificate will automatically result in failure for the current session.

REPORT AND ORAL PRESENTATION

Group work will be carried out throughout the year.

Presentations will be given in pairs and groups.

A report will also be produced. You must hand in your report by the deadline communicated during the course. In fairness to those who are punctual, 1 point will be deducted for each day late.



The final grade is based on the report and presentations. Individual and group work will be taken into account.
