Ethical Challenges of Integrating Neuroscience into the Clinic: Case Examples and Discussion

View Session
Overview

  • What if you discover a structural malformation during an fMRI scan for a patient with opioid use disorder with a history of trauma in your research study? How should you handle client disclosure of direct-to-consumer genetics testing that changes client treatment preferences and needs? What are the risks of using neuroscience in perpetuating race-based bias and other forms of bias in clinical practice?
  • The bioethics of neuroscience integration in psychotherapy are a critical consideration for future practitioners of CBT but rarely discussed. Learn from Dr. Judy Illes, an internationally-recognized bioethicist, Professor of Neurology and Distinguished Professor in Neuroethics at the University of British Columbia, and pioneer of the field of neuroethics.

Bringing Neuroscience into Communities to Improve Mental Health: Insights From Community-Based Participatory Neuroscience

View Session
Overview

  • Can neuroscience have a more meaningful impact in CBT clinics by directly engaging communities around questions related to research design, procedures, and even the research questions themselves? How can we improve research practices to enhance the generalizability and representation of neuroscientific research findings related to disorder and intervention mechanisms? 
  • These questions will be addressed by expert speakers engaging in community based participatory methods to understand biopsychological mechanisms of psychopathology and treatments in populations that have experienced chronic racial trauma and other societal stressors. 
  • Ms. Roslyn Moore, Deputy Director for Programs for the Office of Minority Affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services, will provide a discussion of themes in community neuroscience work to maximize broader impacts. 

This session offers 1 CE credit.
