This innovative work explores integrating emerging research into how the brain processes information in applied therapeutic interventions. Typically, clinicians select therapeutic interventions based on their own training, personal experience or preference. This book aims to provide a new model, based upon the neural networks, to both understand the development of mental health issues and their persistence, and how and why to apply therapeutic interventions to impact the systems which are maintaining them. This work begins with a short and accessible overview of the neural network model, and…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This innovative work explores integrating emerging research into how the brain processes information in applied therapeutic interventions. Typically, clinicians select therapeutic interventions based on their own training, personal experience or preference. This book aims to provide a new model, based upon the neural networks, to both understand the development of mental health issues and their persistence, and how and why to apply therapeutic interventions to impact the systems which are maintaining them.
This work begins with a short and accessible overview of the neural network model, and the general aims of therapy. It elucidates components of the neural network model of learning such as reward recognition, automaticity, and memory reconsolidation, and how they apply to both general learning and new learning through the process in therapy. Next, the authors explore how the neural network model can be integrated across existing systems of therapy, including CognitiveBehavior therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), third wave therapies and analytic therapies.

Therapy and the Neural Network Model is an exciting resource for researchers and practitioners interested in understanding more about the applications of a neural network model for therapy and the how and why of building new mentally healthy cognitions, behaviors and emotions.

Therapy and the Neural Network Model is also an essential theoretical foundation for both researchers and practitioners who wish to base their therapeutic practice on neuroscience and integrate their work with related fields such as behavioral medicine, health psychology, social work and public health.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Ted Wasserman has authored five books and over 50 peer referenced articles on a variety of topics in neuropsychology and clinical psychology. Along with Lori Wasserman, he is the co-editor of the Neural Network series for Springer nature Publishing. This series uses neural network modeling to explain important issues in clinical neuropsychological practice. The most recent works have modeled motivation and apraxia. Dr. Wasserman, a pediatric Neuropsychologist, licensed in the State of Florida, completed his doctorate at Hofstra University in 1974. His internship in pediatric neuropsychology was completed at North Shore University Hospital, Long Island, New York. His Post-Doctoral training was completed in cognitive behavior therapy at the Institute For Advanced Study Of Rational Psychotherapy in New York City. Dr. Wasserman is in private practice in Boca Raton, Florida. He sees children from the ages of 0-18, with a full range of medical and developmental anomalies. He is particularly interested in attentional and learning disorders and their impact on school function, Autism, and Asperger's, atypical developmental delays, seizures, and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Wasserman was the co-founder and past president of the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology. He was formerly the section chief of Psychology at St. Mary's Medical Center Trauma Service and the Nicklaus Children's Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. Dr. Lori Wasserman has authored five books and over 20 peer referenced articles on a variety of topics in neuropsychology and clinical psychology. Along with Ted Wasserman, she is the co-editor of the Neural Network series for Springer Nature Publishing. This series uses neural network modeling to explain important issues in clinical neuropsychological practice. The most recent works have modeled motivation and apraxia. Dr. Wasserman holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology and certification in School Psychology. She both completed her internship and remained at the Astor Day Treatment Center for a total of 10 years, working with learning disabled and emotionally impacted children who had been expelled from special education. Dr. Wasserman relocated to Florida in 1988, leading multi-disciplinary teams in the neurodevelopmental assessment of infants and toddlers through the Early Intervention Program for children between the ages of birth and five. Dr. Wasserman is a Fellow of the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology and is a past and current member of the board on American Academy of Pediatric Neuropsychology. Dr. Wasserman is currently in private practice in Boca Raton. Her practice provides clinical and neuropsychological assessment for children through young adults. Although originally trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, her practice utilizes a combination of cognitive behavior therapy and neuropsychological principles which she and her partner and co-author have termed Neurocognitive Learning Theory.
