About the Book

“The background information was just what I needed to remind myself enough of the theories and major thoughts out there. The explanation of the biological basis behind certain diagnoses was spot on and very well-explained. The practical piece with tasks at the end of each chapter is beyond excellent. The section in the beginning that explains self-talk and changing language - I find this so useful and efficient as a way to change perspective”. Antonette T. Dulay, MD, Main Line Perinatal Associates Maternal-Fetal Medicine Section, Dept. Ob/Gyn. Main Line Health System and Axia Women’s Health “This book helps to educate, empower and motivate the user to better understand their mental state and provides useful tools for a positive outcome”. Nadine Beiles B.N. GCert Perioperative “This book has the positive power to give anyone in need of guidance, the gift of understanding the brain better and hope with empowerment and healing”. Stroke survivor “As a psychologist seeing a neurological standpoint depicts a bigger picture and better understanding about an individual as a whole. At times it felt like I was learning something new with parts of the brain and how it works and contributes to parts of our being. I love the sections with the different visual and task portions. I am a visual learner so the task worksheets helped my brain soak in the information. The tasks were a good exercise for psychologist to experience and complete, which allows a psychologist better help to assist clients with these tools”. Dr. April M. Colbert, Licensed Clinical Psychologist “A very comprehensive and thorough explanation of the neuroscience principles which link well with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy”.
