Wilson, a counselor and social worker in New Zealand, shows how to apply concepts from neuroscience to mental health practice. She focuses on plasticity, but also discusses learning and memory, mirror neurons, emotion, attachment, addiction, and stress and their applications to counseling, then specific mental health problems, what is known about them from psychological and neuroscientific standpoints, and implications for counseling and therapy. She also details strategies to recommend to clients, such as exercise, sleep, meditation, and healthy eating. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
