A Review of: “Being a Brain-Wise Therapist: A Practical Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology. Bonnie Badenoch”

Abstract

Reviews the book, Being a Brain-Wise Therapist: A Practical Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology by Bonnie Badenoch (see record 2008-08211-000). The book is a review of the fundamentals of interpersonal neurobiology, a view of the mind that incorporates multiple disciplines in an effort to find and join parallel principles of understanding the complexity of humanity and further to guide practitioners in the utilization of that understanding. The author eloquently provides the reader with an integration of research findings, neurobiology, practice guidelines and case examples. The book focuses on one of the most underdiscussed and important areas of professionalism. The self-care of the therapist is addressed. Although the book is is not focused on electroencephalography (EEG), it is wonderful reading for neurotherapists as one think about our brains, our client’s brains, and the dynamic connectivity between the two.
