Through the lens of a therapist, the reader is informed how a knowledge of neuroscience can inform, support, and at times transform treatment models relevant to mental health. - Stephen W Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Indiana University, Professor of Psychiatry, University of North Carolina, and author of The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe. This book is a useful compendium of recent thinking on the emotional brain. Written in a clear, readable style, it will help psychotherapists to digest neuroscientific knowledge and integrate it with the practice of psychotherapy. - Sue Gerhardt, author of Why Love Matters.
