Integrating Psycholinguistic Insights in Patient Care
Learn the vital link between language, cognition, and emotion through psycholinguistics. This course offers insights into its role in diagnosing and treating various medical disorders.
About this course
Psycholinguistics explores the relationship between verbal and nonverbal language patterns and the characteristics of language symptoms in individuals with neurodevelopmental, emotional, and medical disorders. Language patterns observed by astute clinicians during sessions can be invaluable feedback. Specifically, attention to psycholinguistic concepts, overall and from a subdiscipline perspective, can enable mental health professionals to deepen their awareness about their clients, to broaden their own assessment skills, to distinguish the characteristics of different language clues, to attend to differences in the language patterns of their clients, and to extend their knowledge about these patterns over the course of treatment. In this way, psycholinguistic methods and strategies can inform mental health professionals about diagnosis, prognosis, and the relative efficacy of therapeutic interventions. This online CE course informs mental health clinicians how to listen to the “language code” of their patients.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
I am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Enjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
