St Patrick's Mental Health Services (SPMHS) invites GPs and healthcare professionals to the first event in our 2022 GP Webinar Series.
Dr Violet Johnstone, Senior Counselling Psychologist, and Dr Aideen O’Neill, Clinical Psychologist, both from SPMHS, will explore how addiction and substance-use disorders fit into a psychological formulation and how the history of addiction has been understood and treated to date.
Addiction from a psychological perspective and emerging psychological theories related to addiction will be discussed. Dr Johnstone and Dr O’Neill will also explore SPMHS’ Temple Formulation Group; a psychology group programme for individuals who currently, or historically, have experiences with addiction or substance misuse or abuse.
There will be a short Q&A session following the speakers’ presentations where you will have the opportunity to ask questions. You can also submit your questions in advance by emailing communications@stpatsmail.com.
