TéléchargerLes symptômes négatifs : vive la pensée positive! (Webinaire portant sur la schizophrénie)
Description
Too often, we believe that negative symptoms are like an inevitable manifestation of psychotic disorders, that we cannot treat them and that we must resign ourselves to dealing with them.
Contrary to this received idea, in a large proportion of cases, solutions exist to reduce the severity, offering the possibility of supporting the recovery of the people concerned.
This webinar, offered by a woman who herself dealt with such difficulties and a clinician-researcher who has been interested in them for more than 30 years, from a perspective of family intervention and recovery, aims to offer people with and their loved ones concrete tools to face this challenge.
Guests
Marc-André Roy
Dr. Marc-André Roy has been a psychiatrist since 1991. Since 1994, he has been a professor of psychiatry and, since 1997, he has worked as a research-clinician psychiatrist with young adults presenting a first psychotic episode at the Clinique Notre-Dame des Victoires de l ‘IUSMQ.
Today’s webinar joins two subjects that have interested him for a long time, since he gave his first conference on negative symptoms in 1988 and participated for the first time in psychoeducation groups for relatives of people with a psychotic disorder.
He resolutely adheres to a clinical approach based on recovery, and he has always been recognized as a promoter of the collaboration of families and care teams in the follow-up of people dealing with a psychotic disorder. : https://cervo.ulaval.ca/fr/marc-andre-roy
