Workshop Description:

Temperament and mental illnesses are considered to be varying degrees of the same continuum of imbalance in the neurochemical regulation of behavior. This intermediate workshop presents a condensed and comprehensive review of the main models of temperament and their convergence with findings in psychophysiology and psychopathology. Participants will learn a 12-components framework that summarizes specialization between neurotransmitter systems underlying both temperament and mental disorders. Participants will be offered an introduction to and practice with a screening temperament test that has been validated over the past 25 years. Examples of temperament profiles in patients with mental disorders will be reviewed based on clinical studies. Algorithms for using temperament profiles in choosing psychotherapy approaches and the relationships between psychopathology, psychophysiology, and temperament will be discussed in a perspective of classification of mental disorders and trait theories.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Apply one, unified framework to the analysis of temperament traits and symptoms of mental disorders
2. Assess temperament traits using a compact screening temperament test
3. Plan psychotherapy approaches based on temperament profiles and biographical data
4. List neurotransmitter systems and their roles in regulation of 12 functional aspects of behavior (such as orientation, integration, energetic maintenance of actions and emotionality)
