The first meeting is an introductory lecture. The second meeting will be an SPC (Simulated Patient Contact), during which the entrance level of each student will be assessed. The other meetings are structured as training meetings; as preparation, students study literature and dvd’s. The assessment skills are practiced by means of role-playing. The last meeting will again be an SPC. Students complete an assessment and a reflection report for each SPC. Form of Assessment Adequate demonstration of interviewing skills, adequate completion of patient assessment reports and reflection reports. | 483PP Clinical Skills II: Diagnostic Test Procedures – 2 credits Coordinators: Petra Hurks, Neuropsychology & Psychopharmacology (FPN), Phone 38 84269, 40 Universiteitssingel East, Room 2.747, E-mail: Pm.Hurks@psychology.unimaas.nl; Rudolf Ponds, Psychiatry & Neuropsychology (FHML, University Hospital Maastricht, Maastro Clinic), 12 Dr. Tanslaan, Room 4.G3.061, Phone 38 76044 , E-mail: r.ponds@np.unimaas.nl Description of the Course The aim of this training is to teach students procedures for psychodiagnostic and neuropsychological testing needed for assessing type, severity and extent of psychopathology and neuropsychological problems in individuals with psychiatric disorders. Students will learn to administer a psychodiagnostic interview in adult clients with psychiatric diagnoses as well as in caregivers of children with developmental problems. Also, they will extend their experience in neuropsychological test administration and observation. They will acquire skills in writing a formal report and in communicating their conclusions to the patient. Following an introduction in the main cognitive domains in relation to brain areas and relevant neuropsychological and psychopathological test procedures, the training will focus on five disorders: developmental disorders (including disorders of executive functioning and disorders of learning and attention), schizophrenia, bipolar disorder,

The sessions will consist of introductory lectures, plenary discussions, and interviews of different patients or caregivers of children.

It is essential to have a basic knowledge of the brain anatomy when working in the field of neuropsychology or neurobiology. Many specific brain areas can be linked to particular functions. Thus, knowledge of the brain anatomy and its main functions allows one to directly link specific neurological or psychiatric disorders to particular brain areas. After a short theoretical introduction the students will study whole brains and brain material of mammals at both macroscopical (visual inspection) and microscopical level. The emphasis will be on major brain systems including the basal ganglia and limbic system. Instructional Approach Almost exclusively practical: dissection of sheep brain, studying of microscopical slices of rat brain, working with plastic human brain models, CD-ROM programs, and textbook. Form of Assessment Pass/fail score based on written exam with open questions. | 485PP Psychophysiological Skills – 1 credit Coordinators: Pascal van Gerven, Neuropsychology & Psychopharmacology (FPN), Phone 38 84512, 40 Universiteitssingel East, Room 2.742, E-mail: p.vangerven@psychology.unimaas.nl; Eric Vuurman, Psychiaty & Neuropsychology (FHML), Phone 38 81046, 40 Universiteitssingel East, Room 2.747, E-mail: e.vuurman@psychology.unimaas.nl
