A thoughtful, practical, and moving account of the importance of intuition and empathy in psychotherapy. This book contains many enlightening, and touching, real-life examples of how often the delicate process depends on the wise therapist having the courage to be vulnerable, and to know how 'not to know.--Dr. Iain McGilchrist, author of The Master and his Emissary Marks-Tarlow takes us on a shimmering journey through the heart of clinical practice. Giving equal voice to both cortical hemispheres, conscious and unconscious processes, and the body, brain, and mind; she challenges us to expand our understanding and awareness of our clients and ourselves.--Louis Cozolino, PhD, professor of psychology, Pepperdine University, and author of The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy and The Neuroscience of Human Relationships This book is a superb synopsis of psychotherapeutic experiences, and a delight to read. With a flowing and sensitive narrative, spiced with selections from modern affective and cognitive neurosciences, Marks-Tarlow's clinical skills and insights offer new ways to envision how disturbed minds can be guided toward positive self-realizations, through the transformative power of social joy. She shows, by example, how to harness personal habits of bodily self-care and psychological well-being to maximize affective intuitions that help restore traumatized brains to healthy minds.--Jaak Panksepp, Baily Endowed Professor of Animal Well-Being Science, College of Veterinary Medicine, Washington State University This extraordinary book will prove invaluable for therapists of all persuasions. Marks-Tarlow successfully offers the reader an accessible exposition of a complex topic while preserving its mystery, emphasizing the bottom-up, right-brain nature of clinical intuition and elucidating how the therapist's embodied experience is the basis for choices made in therapy.--Pat Ogden, PhD, founder/director of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, and author of Trauma and the Body: A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy This timely book achieves far more than the title suggests. It will engage a first-year psychotherapy student, it will validate the implicit knowledge of a seasoned clinician, and it will empower an interested lay psychotherapy consumer. This is truly a one-of-a-kind achievement for our field.--David Pincus, PhD, associate professor of clinical psychology, Chapman University, and author of Imagery for Pain Relief: A Scientifically Grounded Guidebook for Clinicians
