Description for Depathologizing Psychopathology: The Neuroscience of Mental Illness and Its Treatment
Hardcover. Num Pages: 190 pages, 2 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MMF; MMH; MMJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 166 x 266 x 17. Weight in Grams: 450.
This brief, accessible treatise harnesses the neurophysiological processes of learning to create an innovative and powerful approach to therapy. It sets out a non-pathologizing alternative not only to the current medicalized conception of diagnosis and treatment but also to the labeling of relatively normal reactions to stressors and upsets as illnesses. Rooted in the neurobiology of human learning, the book’s approach to treatment, Neuro-Cognitive Learning Therapy, characterizes maladaptive behavior patterns as learned responses to upsetting conditions—processes which can be unlearned. In addition, the coverage includes a clinical teaching guide for bringing NCLT theory and methods into the training curriculum.
