Clinical psychologist to present information on a new psychotherapy approach to an international meeting of psychologists in Lisbon
 
Greenville, South Carolina – March 26, 2007 – Local private practicing clinical psychologist is scheduled to present a 4 hour pre-conference workshop on a Clinical Biopsychological Approach in the treatment of psychological problems at the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration (SEPI) meeting in Lisbon, Portugal on July 5th. There will be more detailed continuing education workshops on this approach for mental health professionals in Philadelphia and Baltimore on May 18th and May 25th.

The clinical biopsychological approach is based on the brain model published in the recent issue of The Journal of Mind and Behavior. The cortical model was developed over 20 years ago, but enough support from brain imaging studies has only now made the theory publishable in a peer-reviewed journal. Clinical psychologist, Robert A. Moss, Ph.D., ABPP, has an upcoming paper on how the model relates to the treatment of negative emotional memories that will be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Psychotherapy Integration, SEPI’s APA journal. The upcoming workshop in Lisbon will be the first time this has been presented to an international audience of psychologists. Dr. Moss has been working with a clinical biopsychological approach in the treatment of psychological problems, including depression and anxiety, in his private practice for years, though these are the first articles to appear in peer reviewed journals. The approach differs from the three main theoretical approaches (i.e., psychodynamic, humanistic/experiential, and cognitive-behavioral) to individual psychotherapy, in that it is the only one based on a brain model. Dr. Moss is board certified in both clinical psychology and neuropsychology. Based on this brain model, Dr. Moss has written a professional manual on conducting treatment, a self-help book, and two Christian books.
