Assessment and Rehabilitation of Brain Processes

Skill Level Beginner
Language English

Overview

The present course will provide an overview of clinical neuropsychology, a specialty focused on the understanding the brain-behavior relationships particularly as these relationships can be applied to the diagnosis and assessment of cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions as well as to their differential diagnosis. The introductory session will delineate the role and the main aims of a clinical neuropsychologist as well as the tools that must be mastered in the clinical practice. The adopted theoretical framework concerns the assessment of neurocognitive disorders according to the DSM-5, which includes the exploration of the six cognitive domains: complex attention, executive functions, learning and memory, perceptual-motor, language, and social cognition. The most commonly used neuropsychological scales/tests will be presented. Moreover, this course will cover the general aspect of the neuropsychological rehabilitation of cognitive disorders. With a clinician-researchers prospective, students will experience how to plan a tailored rehabilitation program which integrates scientific evidence-clinical experience and patients’ needs. The overall objective of this course is to provide an “how to do” lectures for beginners, showing how to handle clinical neuropsychological topics in daily work.

Il tema della sussidiarietà è ampiamente oggetto di riflessioni e dibattiti tanto nelle discipline filosofico-politiche, come in quelle giuridiche o economiche, nei cui domini disciplinari ha già una lunga storia. Riteniamo che tale tema abbia anche un forte potere euristico in ambito pedagogico, tanto che crediamo abbia senso parlare di una "pedagogia della sussidiarietà", in cui il genitivo con cui si introduce il termine che ci sta a cuore ha una duplice valenza.Da un lato si tratta di un genitivo soggettivo, per indicare una pedagogia che si sviluppi secondo uno stile e con un impianto epistemologico che trae dalla logica della sussidiarietà la propria ispirazione sul piano euristico. In questo senso potremmo distinguere una pedagogia della sussidiarietà da ogni forma di pedagogia anti-sussidiaria, trasmissiva, "centralista".Dall'altro lato lo possiamo considerare anche come genitivo oggettivo, per indicare una pedagogia che si occupi di quegli ambiti educativi in cui è particolarmente necessario e opportuno approcciarsi con uno stile sussidiario o con una logica di sussidiarietà. Ci riferiamo in questo senso soprattutto ai servizi alla persona, tanto che potremmo anche parlare di una Pedagogia dei servizi alla persona, che però abbiamo voluto connotare esplicitamente in senso sussidiario.

Il corso si propone l'obiettivo di esplorare le ragioni etiche e pedagogiche di una deontologia delle professioni educative. Prenderemo le mosse da alcune considerazioni sulla deontologia professionale in generale, per cogliere le istanze comuni a tutte le professioni che si sono dotate di un codice deontologico o di riferimenti di tipo etico-valoriale connessi all'esercizio della professione stessa. Un esempio particolarmente significativo in tal senso è offerto dal Giuramento di Ippocrate, che sta alla base dei codici deontologici delle professioni di area sanitaria. Il passo successivo è quello di analizzare le "ragioni specifiche" che si riferiscono alla deontologia delle professioni educative, in quanto tali, facendo riferimento alla specificità dell'agire educativo e delle responsabilità che esso comporta. Concluderemo con alcune considerazioni sul ruolo "costruttivo" che possono avere - in questo particolare momento storico - un codice deontologico o una carta etica di cui si possono dotare le singole istituzioni educative, a supporto della propria identità culturale e professionale.
