Adolescent Psychology & Autism Treatment Training
Adolescence is a critical stage of rapid physical and mental development, marked by multiple growing pains. Globally, teenagers are particularly vulnerable to mental health issues. ASEEDER, in partnership with Rainbowpen, has exclusively designed the Adolescent Psychology & Autism Treatment Training program, focusing on the mental development of young people. The program, delivered by the Executive Director of Rainbowpen and certified instructors from the UCLA Department of Biobehavioral Sciences, focuses on common psychological disorders in adolescents, including depression, bipolar disorder, emotional disorders, trauma and stress, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Through real case studies and multiple psychology practices, such as simulated counseling, arts therapy, and Sandplay Therapy, participants will explore the world of psychology in an engaging, hands-on way. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the disease with the fastest-growing number of patients worldwide. ASD Children are often called “children from the stars” due to their unique clinical presentations. Participants will have the opportunity to visit a special children's institution in Shanghai and design a rehabilitation plan to support children with autism. Upon completion, participants will receive a program certificate issued by Rainbowpen. The best individuals may also obtain recommendation letters signed by their mentors.

往期学生反馈
我最受益的其中一个项目环节是在学习心理测评的理论时,我们针对案例进行心理测评的应用演练,我学习了物理治疗的真实原理,例如适用于情感障碍,行为障碍等症状的MECT,以及rTMS的应用原理,在小组合作中体验特定物理仪器治疗,感受rTMS电疗的生理效应;另一个让我印象很深刻的环节是在最后一天我们学习心理治疗与音乐心理治疗的原理与方法,通过模拟体验音乐治疗,我们与老师一起配合,使用不同音效的乐器演奏,体会音乐治疗带来的心理疗愈。—— 深圳活石学院 欧阳同学
我非常喜欢实践模拟心理咨询的环节,不论是在课堂上还是下课后小组完成的课后任务。因为模拟咨询的过程对于我来说就是一次对于所学知识的巩固复习与运用发展的机会,并且在老师和队员的共同探讨下我可以进步得更加快速,领悟得更加深刻。同时,进行模拟心理咨询将会涉及到所有的学习内容,包括但不限于撰写病历,分析诊断,咨询技巧,流派理念等等。我认为这是一个无与伦比的尝试和不断试错提高能力的项目环节。—— 珠海国际学校 叶同学
我最喜欢的是CBT和精神障碍的介绍和case分析,这确实有很多干货和小细节的处理在这部分中,而且讲这两个东西的老师很能带动课程,让大家都集中在学习上,所以学习氛围也很好。其中有很多case的案例,所以可以得到一个很好的内容吸收。—— 上海诺美学校 曹同学
