Brain2Brain: Enacting Client Change Through the Persuasive Power of Neuroscience

Help your clients overcome resistance with this essential guide

Client resistance to psychotherapy is one of the most difficult challenges mental health professionals face. Thankfully, technological and theoretical advances have yielded a rich body of research identifying how mental and physical health are connected. Brain2Brain is an excellent summary of the available evidence, complete with client-centered tools for use in everyday practice.

Included in Brain2Brain are sample client dialogues and case examples that demonstrate exactly how neurobiological information can be used in the therapeutic setting. Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder are each discussed from a holistic standpoint. Handouts and mnemonic devices will help your clients retain vital information and understand how to use it. And quick-reference sidebars concisely present the scientific basis of the book's therapeutic suggestions.

When therapists conceal or leave out details about the biological component of mental health experiences, clients may have a hard time trusting their therapists. That's why it is absolutely essential to discover and share the latest insights from neurobiology in language that clients can understand. Brain2Brain is the all-inclusive tool you need to bring brain science into your practice and establish the trust that's key to effective practice.
