Neuroscience for Counselors and Therapists returns in a third edition with a new subtitle, two new chapters and alignment to the DSM-5-TR.
If you searched for the earlier subtitle, the one about mind and brain science, this is the same book under its third-edition title, with new chapters on transtheoretical and transdiagnostic practice.
What's inside
- An introduction to neuroscience and a full chapter on how the brain is built and how it works
- Four theoretical paradigms, each with neuroscience integrated and a client vignette
- Four common disorders compared across all four paradigms
- The nervous-system effects of the pandemic years and of the racism and unrest of the same period
Chad Luke teaches this material, supervises clinicians, and has twenty years in practice himself, and the emphasis stays on application.
From the publisher
The third edition of Neuroscience for Counselors and Therapists: A Culturally Responsive Approach to Integrating Therapy and the Science of the Brain provides students with an engaging and insightful exploration of how neuroscience can be woven into established counseling practices. Author Chad Luke emphasizes practical application, equipping readers with a deeper understanding of the intersection between specific theories and neuroscience and providing them with actionable guidance for integrating this knowledge into their personal practice.
The book opens with an introduction to neuroscience, followed by a detailed chapter on the brain's structure and function. It delves into four major theoretical paradigms in separate chapters, each integrating neuroscience and illustrated through client vignettes. Additionally, it examines four common disorders in therapy, offering a comparative and integrative analysis across the four treatment paradigms.
The third edition reflects the rapidly changing neuroscience and neurobiological landscape by incorporating the latest research and thinking from the field. The book covers critical contemporary topics such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge of racism and social unrest over the last five years on the human nervous system. It also aligns with the DSM-5-TR throughout.
Two brand-new chapters (Advancing Transtheoretical Practice: Neuroscience-Integrated Counseling and Therapy and Advancing Transdiagnostic Practice: Developing Your Neuroscience-Integrated Counseling and Therapy Approach) add to the robust updates to this edition.
A cutting-edge but accessible text, Neuroscience for Counselors and Therapists is ideal for courses in counseling and psychotherapy.
