Many children and adolescents are struggling with moderate to severe learning and processing impairments such as dyslexia; however, these issues are not directly worked on as central goals in any form of psychotherapy.   Parents may struggle to find the right high-frequency intervention to work on these processing deficits and do not know where to turn for academic support. Frequently learning disorders are complicated by social and emotional setbacks, validating the need for intensive psychotherapy to address these issues. A detailed picture shown in a PowerPoint demonstration defining Educational Therapy through the lens of clinical Educational Therapy case is analyzed in conjunction with various psychoanalytic concepts to assist in a positive therapeutic assessment.

 Learning Objectives

 As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:

• Define the field of Educational Therapy and show its relation to the use of psychoanalysis
• Attune clinicians to seek out the professional assistance of an Educational Therapist in case work
• Examine the nature of the “Twice Exceptional” population, and its relevance to neurosis and symptom formation

Sandy G.
