From Stress to Psychosis - How to prevent people having breakdowns

Ivan Tyrrell’s groundbreaking seminar explores what happens in the brain when it is put under stress and how this affects our emotional life and mental health.

When innate needs are not met well, stress levels rise rapidly and anxiety, depression – and, in some people, psychosis – are the result. Tyrrell 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.
