| Summary |
Psychology academic and practitioner Cozolino (Pepperdine U.) presents an updated text offering psychotherapists a basic understanding of the intersection of neuroscience and psychotherapy, and the relationship between the brain and behavior. Coverage includes an overview of the topic, how the brain works, the organization of experience and the healthy brain, the social brain, the disorganization of experience, and the reorganization of experience. Revised throughout to reflect new research advances since publication of the 2002 first edition, the second edition features new chapters on attachment, epigenetics, and the construction of consciousness, and contains discussion of some of the evolutionary shortcomings of the human brain that make humans susceptible to psychological distress. The subtitle has been revised from Building and Rebuilding the Human Brain to Healing the Social Brain to reflect a shift in perspective toward social neuroscience and the recognition of the human brain as a social organ.
