II. Various neuphysic-biological concepts.

III. Phylogenetic and ontogenetic aspects.

IV. The brain and its functions: motoring; empathy, emotion, sexual behaviour; cognitive processes (memory, thought, creativity).

V. Drama and the brain: experience, rituals, resilience.

VI. Borderline diagnoses and dysfunctions.

VII. Abnormal and pathological conditions.

Key topics are those which are related to the relationship between events in the mind and external of children with an emphasis on risk periods in the development and dangers of inappropriate external intervention. Significant issues are of maleability, learning potential, significance and needs in communication with the surroundings, playful behaviour - creativity and their neurophysiological foundation. The group of topics dealing with disturbances in brain development activity and their relation to the aging and individual integrity of a child is to introduce students to the main indications of an afflicted brain. The final part of instruction is focused on explaining the comprehensive care of disabled children and potential of using various forms of therapy applied in drama training.
