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.
