Clients Who Lie Honestly: Treatment Strategies & Special Considerations

$52.50

SKU: LD - 129 Category:

Description

Confabulation occurs when an individual unintentionally creates a false memory. This phenomenon can range from the slight alteration of minor details for the memory of a real-life event to the grand creation of a memory for an event that never occurred. Confabulation is often observed in individuals with neurological (e.g., Alzheimer’s), psychiatric (e.g., schizophrenia), and developmental (e.g., FASD) conditions. With an unclear etiology, misinformation resulting from confabulation can present quite a challenge when assessing and treating clients. Intended for professionals working in mental health care settings, this training introduces attendees to the construct of confabulation and highlights the dangers that this poses in care settings. Related concepts discussed in this training will include suggestibility, delusions, etiology, cognitive functioning, family systems, memory deficits, false memories, malingering, and lying.
