How do we approach psychology and neuropsychology at Imar Palma?

In our Neuropsychology and Psychology unit, we understand that the mind and the brain are intrinsically connected. Clinical neuropsychology sits within the field of neuroscience and explores the relationship between the brain, cognitive functions (memory, executive functions, attention, processing speed, language, perception, gnosis, praxis…) and human behaviour.

Our mission is to identify, describe, diagnose and treat the cognitive, behavioural and emotional changes that may arise due to brain injuries or damage to the central nervous system.

What disorders and needs do we treat with neuropsychology and psychology in Mallorca?

01.

Mood Disorders

These include conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, which significantly affect emotional wellbeing and daily functioning. Symptoms can range from persistent sadness, loss of interest, and changes in sleep and appetite, to episodes of extreme euphoria or irritability.

02.

Anxiety Disorders

This covers conditions such as generalised anxiety disorder, panic attacks and specific phobias. They are characterised by excessive worry, a sense of imminent danger, palpitations, difficulty concentrating and avoidance of feared situations, all of which impact quality of life.

03.

Neurodevelopmental Disorders

These cover conditions such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), learning disorders and autism spectrum disorder. They are typically identified during school age and interfere with academic performance, emotional regulation and the child’s social adaptation.

04.

Cognitive Decline and Neurodegenerative Diseases

These address difficulties associated with ageing or diseases such as Alzheimer’s, which affect memory, language, attention and other executive functions. The intervention aims to preserve autonomy and slow the progression of decline.

05.

Psychosomatic Disorders and Chronic Pain

These encompass conditions where physical discomfort is linked to emotional factors, such as tension headaches, irritable bowel syndrome or fibromyalgia. The psychological approach helps to identify and manage the impact of stress and improve the perception of pain.

What benefits do neuropsychology and psychology offer for each of these disorders?

Improved Emotional Wellbeing

Helps manage chronic pain related to spinal disorders, reducing anxiety and depression.

Cognitive Optimisation

Neuropsychological techniques can improve concentration and memory, which may be affected by pain or disability.

Stress Management

Neuropsychology offers coping strategies that help control the stress that can be generated by pain and limited movement.

What psychological techniques and therapies do we use?

At Imar Palma, various psychological techniques adapted to each patient are employed, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which modifies negative thoughts and behaviours, and mindfulness and relaxation techniques to reduce stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used, which encourages the acceptance of difficult emotions, as well as psychoeducation to teach practical tools for understanding and managing symptoms. These techniques help patients improve their emotional and physical wellbeing.

What is the duration and frequency of the sessions?

The duration and frequency of sessions at Imar Palma vary according to each patient’s needs and the type of therapy being used. Generally, sessions last between 45 and 60 minutes and are held on a weekly or fortnightly basis, depending on the patient’s progress and the intensity of the treatment. At the beginning, closer follow-up may be necessary, while as the patient advances, the frequency of sessions can be adjusted. The goal is to provide the support needed to achieve sustainable changes and improve emotional wellbeing.

What to expect before, during and after psychological treatment?

Before treatment, the patient will undergo an initial assessment to explore their history, concerns and establish clear goals. Some anxiety is normal, but open communication will be key to effective treatment. During the process, sessions will explore thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Although there may be uncomfortable moments, the therapist will provide support. After treatment, the patient will notice improvements in their emotional wellbeing and will learn tools to face daily challenges, with follow-up to maintain progress.
