San Diego Keynote Event Features Sovereign's Clinical Supervisor
Dr. Patrick Aleknavicius will be speaking at the First Annual Conference on Family Systems
San Clemente, California, February 19, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Partners in Treatment will be hosting its First Annual Conference on Family Systems in San Diego, California on Friday, February 27th. The event will feature keynote presentations from leading mental and behavioral health practitioners, a social hour with live music and the opportunity to earn five continuing education credits for psychologists, MFTs/LCSWs and CAADACs.
The presentation, “Psychological Testing as a Tool for Family Understanding and Engagement,” will discuss the efficacy of cognitive testing. It will examine how integrated feedback from its results can provide a more neutral common language for challenging topics and situations in addition to being a powerful tool to help clarify an issue’s underlying factors. The seminar will be one hour long, taking place prior to a complimentary social hour that will feature refreshing drinks, appetizers, live music and a tranquil view of the San Diego Bay.
“Psychological testing is a specialty service that can be tremendously helpful for clarifying a patient’s diagnosis or diagnoses,” said Dr. Patrick Aleknavicius, Clinical Supervisor of Sovereign Health Group. “Another, and often overlooked use for psychological testing, is using it as a productive approach to increasing family understanding of a patient’s challenges, and helping families appreciate how environmental and relational variables may exacerbate or mitigate those challenges.”
The seminar will cover the necessity of communication and openness in the family system, the role of psychiatric testing in optimizing care as well as how results can be applied to create positive changes in the family system. Establishing a baseline to compare therapeutic interventions, Dr. Aleknavicius will also identify future areas for growth in treatment plans that utilize family support.
