Brain2Brain: Enacting Client Change Through the Persuasive Power of Neuroscience

Brain Talk describes how therapists can talk to their clients about the relevance of the brain to their problems and methods of changing it in order to facilitate higher motivation to engage in the therapeutic process.  It includes chapters that recommend ways of dealing with client resistance factors such as beliefs in biological determinism, on the one hand, and dualism on the other hand.  Each chapter offers therapists down-to-earth language to describe a road map to mental health.   Because clients are overwhelmed by their symptoms and often forget the strategies they learned in therapy, Brain Talk provides easy to remember phrases and mnemonics memory aids to help clients remember how to meet the challenge of dealing with anxiety or depression.  Case examples are offered in each chapter.
