Understanding Chronic Pain:
The Mind-Body Connection

 

 

 

Historically, health care practitioners have treated pain as a sensory experience occurring in the body.  Fortunately, over time, a more comprehensive vision of pain has emerged centering the pain in the brain, as a mind-body phenomenon. 

This workshop will provide an understanding of how intricately pain is linked to the psyche. We will demonstrate ways of evaluating and treating pain using our knowledge of psychology, psychotherapy and neuroscience. 

 

(Trainer Robin S. Cohen, PhD, PsyD received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from UCLA. Dr. Cohen completed an internship at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, specializing in Medical Psychology and trained in Hypnosis. In 1998, she received a Psy.D. from the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (ICP). Dr. Cohen is currently a Training and Supervising Analyst at ICP, as well as past President of the ICP Board of Directors.  Additionally she is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry of UCLA, involved in clinical training.  Dr. Cohen’s focus is contemporary relational psychoanalytic approaches, object-relations, trauma focused psychotherapy, the relationship between the mind, the body and the brain, and mindfulness approaches.)
