This
course provides an excellent introduction to the neurology necessary to evaluate
a patient in deciding whether or not to refer to a neurologist. This course

*Know how to differentiate an organic v. a non-organic illness
*Have a ready reference when they have neurological questions about their patients
*Know when to refer a patient to a physician for a neurological exam
*Please note that while there are parts of the Four Minute Neurologic Exam that are not within the scope of practice of psychotherapy, they are important to know about to make an accurate differential diagnosis and referral.
