ABOUT THE BOOK
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.
" Start Here with Being a Brain-Wise Therapist- the most recent and integrated book on the path to learning about Interpersonal Neurobiology. Well-written and easy to read...Bonnie has written an informative and enjoyable book after having digested and practiced the latest information on the brain and relationships. The book is based on her years of experience as a therapist, educator, and mindfulness practitioner. She utilizes the latest information from personal conversations with leading neuroscientists, collaborating on written submissions for the Global Association of Interpersonal Neurobiology (mindgains.org), her own research, and her extensive practice which includes supervising interns and colleagues. Just like the smart, warm, and supportive woman she is, Bonnie Badenoch has found a way to nurture our understanding of the brain and relationships throughout this compelling book. "

"What a wonderful integration of neuroscience with compassionate psychotherapy! The author does a very skillful job of making the complexities of neuroscience understandable, and integrating this information with the clinical applications that are necessary to making it work on a practical level. Required reading for my intern therapists... "

"This book fills the gap between theory and practice. The author does a superb job of applying interpersonal neurobiology to the "doing-ness" of therapy, in the room, with real patients/clients. She's particularly adept at capturing the subtle, non-verbal experience of what it actually feels like to sit with a patient during moments of intense emotional upheavals. She skillfully weaves together the theory and the practice; reading her book has affected my own practice and has increased my awareness of how I am "being," moment to moment, with my patients. I highly recommend this book to everyone who is interested in contemporary neuroscience findings--especially and particularly to practitioners of psychotherapy who want to apply neuroscience findings to their clinical practices.
