The Practitioner's Guide to the Science of Psychotherapy
Richard Hill and Matthew Dahlitz
Establishing a new, scientifically validated foundation for current psychotherapeutic practice.
The twenty-first-century psychotherapist can no longer be constrained by specific schools of practice or limited reservoirs of knowledge. But this new “era of information” needs to be integrated and made manageable for every practitioner. This book helps therapists learn more about this new knowledge and how to apply it effectively.
In this single-volume learning resource, Richard Hill and Matthew Dahlitz introduce practitioners to the many elements that create our psychology. From basic neuroscience to body-brain systems and genetic processes, therapists will discover how to become more “response-able” to their clients. Topics include neurobiology, genetics, key therapeutic practices to treat anxiety, depression, trauma and other disorders; memory; mirror neurons and empathy, and more. All are presented with case studies and treatment applications.
With the publication of their latest book, Richard Hill and Matthew Dahlitz have succeeded admirably in providing mental health practitioners of all modalities with a guide to evidence-based, cutting edge, twenty-first century psychotherapy. Through case studies and the latest empirical research, Hill and Dahlitz go well beyond the typical analysis of behavior and emotions to reveal a subterranean world of neuro- and sociobiology that drives and underpins our very existence. This book is an indispensable guide for practitioners of all levels of experience.
