Being a Brain-Wise Therapist: A Practical Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Neuroscientific discoveries have begun to illuminate the workings of the active
brain in intricate detail. In fact, sometimes it seems that in order to be a cutting-edge
therapist, not only do you need knowledge of traditional psychotherapeutic
models, but a solid understanding of the role the brain plays as well. But theory
is never enough. You also need to know how to apply the theories to work with
actual clients during sessions.


In easy-to-understand prose, Being a Brain-Wise Therapist reviews the basic
principles about brain structure, function, and development, and explains
the neurobiological correlates of some familiar diagnostic categories. You
will learn how to make theory come to life in the midst of clinical work, so
that the principles of interpersonal neurobiology can be applied to a range of
patients and issues, such as couples, teens, and children, and those dealing
with depression, anxiety, and other disorders. Liberal use of exercises and case
histories enliven the material and make this an essential guide for seamlessly
integrating the latest neuroscientific research into your therapeutic practice.
