In contrast to this view  recent theoretical perspectives and technological advances in brain imaging have revealed that the brain is an organ continually built and re-built by ones experiences. We are now beginning to learn that many forms of psychotherapy  developed in the absence of any scientific understanding of the brain  are supported by neuroscientific findings.  Louis Cozolinos The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy illustrates in a clearly written and accessible way how the brains architecture is related to the problems  passions  and aspirations of human beings. As Cozolino so eloquently argues  all forms of psychotherapy-from psychoanalysis to behavioral interventions-are successful to the extent to which they enhance change in relevant neural circuits.  Beginning with an overview of the intersecting fields of neuroscience and psychotherapy  this book delves into the brains inner workings  from basic neuronal building blocks to complex systems of memory  language  and the organization of experience. It continues by explaining the development and organization of the healthy brain and the unhealthy brain. Common problems such as anxiety  trauma  and codependency are discussed from a scientific and clinical perspective. Cozolino concludes by introducing the emerging paradigm of the psychotherapist-as-neuroscientist and presents some practical applications of neuroscience to psychotherapy. Throughout the book  the science behind the brains workings is applied to day-to-day experience and clinical practice.  Written for psychotherapists and others interested in the relationship between brain and behavior  this book encourages us to consider the brain when attempting to understand human development  mental illness  and psychological health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945265623093,"sku":"ByrdShop_0393703673","price":28.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780393703672.jpg?v=1769880461","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-neuroscience-of-psychotherapy-building-and-rebuilding-the-human-brain-norton-series-on-interpersonal-neurobiology","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
