Kerzner, MD (Duxbury, MA) This symposium is geared to APsaA Educator Associates, K-12 educators, psychoanalysts, and mental health professionals. Executive functioning disorders are brain based dysfunctions involving neuropsychological deficits, often producing deficits in the sense of self. A complex relationship exists between executive functions and ADHD. The integration of neuropsychological and psychodynamic factors requires a new paradigm incorporating neuropsychological, relational, and intra-psychic dimensions. This session explores implications of this new paradigm. Joseph Palombo is a clinical social worker, and founding Dean, Institute for Clinical Social Work, and faculty Rush Neurobehavioral Center and affiliated with Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. Stephen Kerzner, psychoanalyst and school consultant, provides a psychoanalytic perspective. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
