From stress to psychosis: How to prevent people having breakdowns

Julian Penton’s groundbreaking training day explores what happens in the brain when it is put under stress and how this affects our emotional life and mental health.

Julian Penton’s groundbreaking training day explores what happens in the brain when it is put under stress and how this affects our emotional life and mental health. It also shows how the latest knowledge and insights can be easily applied to improve the mental health of people suffering from a wide range of conditions
– including the more serious.

When innate needs are not met well, stress levels rise rapidly and anxiety, depression – and, in some people, psychosis – are the result. Penton describes a new theory which explains the symptoms of schizophrenia and psychotic episodes and the resulting psychotherapeutic guidelines that offer new hope for sufferers and are improving treatment.

During the day you will also discover why the APET model is so useful in helping practitioners improve the way they think about what is happening for their patients. As well as rapidly improving treatment, it throws fascinating light on why the most effective therapeutic approaches work. It also fulfils the criteria for a much-needed new model that integrates psychotherapy and counselling with the latest findings about brain functioning and human behaviour.

An essential day for mental health workers at all levels.
