More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Neuropsychotherapy is intended to inspire further development and continual empirical updating of consistency theory. It is essential for psychotherapists, psychotherapy researchers, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and mental-health professionals.
Profoundly important and innovative, this volume provides necessary know-how for professionals as it connects the findings of modern neuroscience to the insights of psychotherapy. Throughout the book, a new picture unfolds of the empirical grounds of effective psychotherapeutic work. Author Klaus Grawe articulates a comprehensive model of psychological functioning-consistency theory-and bridges the gap between the neurosciences and the understanding of psychological disorders and their treatment.
Neuropsychotherapy illustrates that psychotherapy can be even more effective when it is grounded in a neuroscientific approach. Cutting across disciplines that are characteristically disparate, the book identifies the neural foundations of various disorders, suggests specific psychotherapeutic conclusions, and makes neuroscientific knowledge more accessible to psychotherapists. The book's discussion of consistency theory reveals the model is firmly connected to other psychological theoretical approaches, from control theory to cognitive-behavioral models to basic need theories.

IVEY SAYS--THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON NEUROSCIENCE AND THERAPY
12 Jan 2009
Format:Hardcover
Thanks to Grawe, Sapolsky, and John Ratey, I have developed a solid beginning sense of the importance of neuroscience in counseling and therapy.
A few books attempt to show relevance of neuroscience to therapy, but few do it well. They tend to be abstract and too general.
Grawe is the BEST. He is very specific, his knowledge of the literature far exceeds everyone else and he has solid research to back up his writing.
It is not an easy book. Don't give up. I'm now on my third reading and learn more each time.
I RANK THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BOOK AS CLOSE TO ROGERS' ORIGINAL WORK. WE FACE A NEW PARADIGM SHIFT THAT WILL MAKE OUR FIELD MORE SCIENTIFIC AND SUCCESSFUL.
Befiore tackling Grawe, I strongly suggest John Ratey's superb book A USER'S GUIDE TO THE BRAIN. It is on Amazon for only a little over $10. Clear, accurate, and you get the key background in understandable language. SPARK IS ALSO EXCELLENT.
Sapolsky's CD's from THE TEACHING COMPANY are also great. I've listened to them three times as well.
