Reviews'In this superb new volume, Rowland Folensbee functions as a tour guide to the reader. He takes his readers on an enjoyable and stimulating journey through the brain and contemporary neuroscience while avoiding both condescension and obfuscation. In an eminently readable prose style, he illustrates how an understanding of the brain can illuminate the dark recesses of the human mind that emerge in psychotherapeutic treatment.' Glen O. Gabbard, M.D., Brown Foundation Chair of Psychoanalysis and Professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine, "A well-written comprehensive volume that most psychotherapists will find helpful and illuminating in their conceptualization of patients, as well as full of useful, practical advice...The text begins with an excellent survey of current neuropsychological understanding of the overarching principles of brain function. The survey is neither too brief and oversimplified nor overly complex for the average mental health professional...The Neuroscience of Psychological Therapies is a comprehensive and eminently readable volume that any practicing psychotherapist will find useful, not just from a theoretical perspective but also because it is full of practical insights in how to work with given therapy clients and their problems. The reader will find it very accessible and enjoyable." --The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 'In this superb new volume, Rowland Folensbee functions as a tour guide to the reader. He takes his readers on an enjoyable and stimulating journey through the brain and contemporary neuroscience while avoiding both condescension and obfuscation. In an eminently readable prose style, he illustrates how an understanding of the brain can illuminate the dark recesses of the human mind that emerge in psychotherapeutic treatment. All psychotherapists will be enriched by spending time with this new book, and I recommend it to both clinicians-in-training and experienced psychotherapists.' Glen O.

SynopsisA practical and detailed text of facts and concepts aiming to help clinicians develop a basic understanding of brain function and its relevance to conducting therapy and assessment. The readership will include professionals practising in mental health, neuroscience researchers as well as graduates of mental health disciplines., The Neuroscience of Psychological Therapies summarizes knowledge of brain function and brain behavior relationships within the context of psychotherapy implementation. It describes how specific locations in the brain carry out specific activities, how the different activities are combined to yield normal and pathological behavior, and how knowledge of brain activities can guide psychological assessment and intervention. Specific topics include the influence of neural networks on discovery and change, the therapist's neuroscience, communicating with patients using the brain as reference, and using neuroscience concepts to compare and integrate traditional schools of psychotherapy. Applying a neuroscience framework to conceptualization and treatment of depression is offered as an example, and specific issues associated with trauma and false memories are discussed. The book is aimed at anyone working within a psychotherapy framework and who wishes to discover more about brain function and brain/behavior relationships.
