- Understand screening and intervention approaches used within the field of psychogastroenterology.
Description:
Psychogastroenterology is a subfield of psychology that is dedicated to the study and treatment of digestive disorders and their associated psychological vulnerabilities. Research in this area has advanced our understanding of the gut-brain axis (i.e., the inter-relationship between the brain and the gut) and helped identify promising interventions for a wide array of population groups. Although psychogastroenterology can help improve and manage the symptoms of several digestive disorders, there is a dearth of psychogastroenterology-informed practitioners in the criminal justice, behavioral health, and mental health fields. A primary goal of this training is to learn why helping professionals should become psychogastroenterology-informed and how such approaches and applications can improve overall client outcomes. Empirically based research findings will be highlighted throughout this training.
