0:00What is the difference from a psychologist to a neuropsychologist?
0:04I'm Jéssica I'm a psychologist I specialize in neuropsychology
0:08and in this profile I talk about topics related to learning
0:11pathology Neurodevelopmental disorder such as a TDH.
0:15People,
0:16the psychologist is a professional who studies for five years
0:20and he has a psychologist's record like any other person
0:24who leaves college and can attend,
0:26right?
0:26After he gets his record.
0:28Adult child working in hospital working in commerce
0:32working as a nurse working in welfare.
0:35He can do all of that.
0:38The neuropsychologist is a psychologist who has a background in psychology
0:43but he has a specialization and then he has a validation of the advice.
0:48As I am I am an expert in neuropsychology so I have a master's degree
0:54from the federal psychology board so is there such a difference?
1:00It's when I left college I could see an adult teenager and soon after
1:05I left college doing a degree in neuropsychology shortly after I
1:10finished I managed to get my title of neuropsychologist.
1:14This is the difference.
1:16We just went there.
1:17Within psychology there are approaches the psychologist he can do several jobs
1:23so he can go out he can attend to elderly adult child child child with disorder
1:28without exception he will work on emotions in general the neuropsychologist in
1:33addition to working on these emotional issues that I spoke to you he will do
1:38neuropsychological assessment and will work on cognitive issues.
1:42What would that be?
1:44Attention memory executive functions.
1:47These losses Jéssica.
1:50But can you work both?
1:52Yes,
1:52but the same professional cannot attend to the person doing the evaluation and
1:59doing follow-up first does the evaluation then does the follow-up.
2:04I'll give you an example.
2:06I have a patient who came to many years ago for school work reasons
2:11and he was doing a lot of work at school but because his parents
2:16had separated so he started to get aggressive.
2:19It's very common when this happens,
2:21isn't it?
2:21The child has several ways of expressing emotions.
2:25In his case he was getting aggressive at school until then.
2:29Alright I tried.
2:30It has now become clear that he is already there.
2:32In the sixth year he began to present some questions related to high abilities.
2:39A super smart kid.
2:40Anyway,
2:41I went for an evaluation,
2:43but I couldn't treat him so I stopped the treatment,
2:47I did the evaluation process,
2:49I finished it and then I went back to follow it up.
2:53but can this be done?
2:56I can't do a week evaluation the other week follow-
2:59up follow-up is one thing evaluation is another.
3:03I always ask if you are 1 child who is not aggressive that there are no problems
3:07so big that you do 1st assessment even though he is not doing it with me because
3:12it confuses the child's head he does not have the perception that with evaluation
3:17one thing with monitoring is another so in the evaluation,
3:20for example,
3:21if the child cannot do a psychological test,
3:23I will not demand it,
3:25I will not force it anymore,
3:26that I force it,
3:28In treatment I'll work on that until he performs.
3:31Oh he has trouble putting together a cube.
3:34I'm going to stay there two fifty times until he gets the assessment done.
3:39I try one two.
3:40He didn't get it I stopped.
3:42And then I note that he had this difficulty with this ability.
3:46Know the difference?
3:47The child does not have this level of perception that one day he is doing
3:52one thing and that the other day he is doing another so that's why it
3:56cannot be done but in general the psychologist does follow-ups related
4:01to the emotional issues of the individual regardless of age of demand
4:05and finally the neuropsychologist he works on cognitive issues which is
4:10cognitive attention IQ memory and all these skills.
4:13This is the difference now tell me about it.
4:17If you knew this difference here tell me about it in the comments.
