This groundbreaking volume provides a theoretical overview and clinical guidelines for the application of neuropsychotherapy. It takes a multidisciplinary approach, combining neuropsychological knowledge with recent conceptualizations from neuroscience and psychotherapy, with special emphasis on the role of working alliance. The first part of the book focuses on the historical roots of neuropsychotherapy. Then, a framework of interpersonal process in neuropsychotherapy and conceptualization for clinical purposes are described. Resistance is described through a historical perspective of conceptualizations to the present-day demands of understanding this phenomenon in the process of neuropsychotherapy. In addition, the neuropsychology of emotions is presented in a therapeutic process through a case intervention. The latter chapters of the book are concerned with special interest interventions and psychotherapeutic working methods suited for neuropsychotherapy. Representing a wide variety of theoretical, research oriented, clinical neuropsychological and psychotherapeutic expertise, this book will interest professionals in neuropsychological rehabilitation and those working with patients with cognitive, emotional and behavioral disorders in in-patient and out-patient settings.
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.
This groundbreaking volume provides a theoretical as well as clinical picture of the background and guidelines for clinical applications of neuropsychotherapy. It takes a multidisciplinary approach, combining neuropsychological knowledge with recent conceptualizations of other fields of neuroscience and models of psychotherapy with special emphasis on the role of working alliance.

This release marks the first in the new series of annual book publications that has evolved from the journal Neuro-Disability and Psychotherapy: A forum for the practice and development of psychological therapies for neurological conditions. These books will gather together new articles under a particular sub-theme related to the practice of neuropsychotherapy. The first issue is a republication of the journal's special double issue on the application of Eastern-influenced psychotherapies for people with neurological conditions, along with two additional related articles that were subsequently published by the journal. Collectively, this publication showcases diverse and contemporary practice in neuropsychotherapy. These all share an influence of Eastern religious and philosophical practices, used to address the ever-present need for innovative adaptation to talking therapies in the face of heterogeneous and complex emotional and cognitive difficulties for those with acquired and progressive neurological conditions.
This breakthrough edition of Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: An Integrative Approach, by Elsie Jones-Smith, sets a new standard in counseling theories books. The Second Edition goes beyond expert coverage of traditional and social constructivist theories with coverage of more contemporary approaches to psychotherapy, including individual chapters on spirituality and psychotherapy, strengths-based therapy, neuroscience and neuropsychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and the expressive arts therapies. In every chapter, the case study of a preadolescent boy demonstrates how each theory can be applied in psychotherapy. Up to date and easy to read, the book engages readers with inner reflection questions that help them apply the theories to the lives of their clients and shows them how to develop their own integrative approach to psychotherapy.
In this book Pieter Rossouw and his colleagues have made a wonderful and exciting contribution to the world of psychology, psychotherapy and counselling by bringing into practical reality the importance of an integrative approach to the psychosocial care of others. The book presents a ground-breaking, new integrated model of neuropsychotherapy, based on years of research, clinical practice and teaching in the neuropsychotherapy field. Dr Rossouw's integrated model of neuropsychotherapy develops and enhances the theoretical work of Seymour Epstein and Klaus Grawe and recognises that safety in the therapeutic alliance is a core component and guiding tenet of a neuropsychotherapeutic approach. Through the principles of neuroscience the book takes us on a challenging, yet exciting journey exploring the application of brain-based therapies. Section A of the book (chapters 1, 2 and 3) reviews the development through history of how neuroscience has informed schools of psychology and therapeutic approaches, and critiques existing theoretical constructs. Section B (the remaining 17 chapters) offers a series of case studies, written by practising clinicians from across Australia, in varying clinical settings and the application of a neuropsychotherapeutic approach and principles for a wide range of psychopathologies. This book is the culmination of a significant interest in and passion for engaging with people suffering from a range of mental challenges. It is also the result of a passion for understanding the human brain and how our genetic footprint is expressed through engaging with the environment. It is this interaction that leads to genetic expression and (in safe, enriched environments) leads to healthy neural development and the capacity not only to survive the challenges of life but also to thrive. When survival is compromised, changes in the brain occur. These changes express on a neurochemical and neuro-structural level and alter neural networks and can lead to the onset of psychopathology. This book challenges our science, our art and perhaps most importantly of all, our humanity. For years in the real world clinicians have known the value of an holistic, integrative approach but often only whispered words like 'eclectic' and 'holistic' and 'integrative' in describing their practice for fear of being ridiculed for lacking a purist psychological doctrine. This book offers real validation to the care that people had known to always work and Dr Rossouw and his colleagues deserve the thanks of many, many practitioners for giving strength and confidence and structure to their practice. The view of human distress as a disease to be treated by 'experts' is placed aside in recognising the power of human beings and their minds to heal and grow and change within a place of safety, to be found in the sanctuary of the therapeutic setting. Dr Rossouw and his colleagues have helped to return the people who deserve our care to the centre of healing where they belong. They have placed them there along with the wonder of relationship and connection. Dr Rossouw is constantly mindful of so many people that suffer on a daily basis with various presentations of mental distress. This book is ultimately for every one of them. Dr Rossouw's hope is that this volume will open some new insights and pathways for clinicians to engage with their clients in such a way that the theoretical underpinnings and clinical applications of neuropsychotherapy will open new perspectives and facilitate new neural pathways to thrive and enhance quality of life.
Memory reconsolidation (MR)—a foundational process with the potential, if properly understood, to consistently bring about the kind of transformational change that we look for in the lives of clients—is the subject of this book. Featured in this issue is Bruce Ecker, one of the foremost experts in applying techniques that fulfil the neurobiological requirements to achieve MR in clinical practice. In fact all of the authors in this issue are experts in their respective fields, demonstrating the unifying nature of MR in such diverse therapies as the Alexander technique, energy psychology, neuro-linguistic programming, and progressive counting. Understanding the biological basis of our memory and how it can be modified is the key to effective therapeutic change, especially when emotional memories are driving unwanted symptoms.The content of this special issue has been previously published in The Neuropsychotherapist or the International Journal of Neuropsychotherapy.
