Description:

Linking the science of interpersonal neurobiology to the art of therapy. This book translates current advances in neuroscience into useful clinical applications for the practitioner. Linking science with clinical material, the author persuasively argues for more scientifically based long-term psychotherapy. Written for couples therapists, family therapists, and those working with individuals, it effectively brings neuroscience to the on-the-ground counselor.
