In this handbook, clinical psychologist and bestselling author Jennifer Sweeton details the eight main areas of the brain affected by mental illness, how brain changes show up in the therapy room as symptoms and behaviors, and the types of therapies and psychotherapeutic techniques research has shown can heal the brain.

Areas covered are the thalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, insula, nucleus accumbens, anterior cingulate, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

No longer will you need to feel unsure when referencing basic brain functions related to behavioral health. After reading this book, you will feel confident and excited about your ability to take a client-centered, strategic, brain-based approach to treatment planning. Chapter summaries and tables of brain region, mental health condition, and therapeutic approach are included for easy reference.

Reviews for Eight Key Brain Areas of Mental Health and Illness

Sweeton adeptly and singularly identifies and addresses the gap in translational science between neuroscience and mental health treatments. She moves neuroscience from an abstract, oblique idea to a comprehensible framework for clinicians and provides them with important and useful information about the vessel, the brain, through which they work. Her writing is clear and accessible; and the content goes above and beyond what most clinicians know about the brain and mental health and illness.--Christa Watson Pereira, Psy.D., Assistant Professor, University of California, San Francisco; Affiliate, University of California, Berkeley Sweeton distills neuroscience into engaging, comprehensible information for the everyday clinical psychologist, making it significantly easier to incorporate it into our therapeutic work. I've used this with my toughest trauma clients with measurable success.--Gricelda Fragoso, PsyD., Clinical Psychologist, Owner of Mind Body Soul Psychology Sweeton has written a wonderful, well-written, and insightful description of the way in which mental health and neuroscience connect.--Emma Seppälä, Ph.D., Yale School of Management, CCARE, Stanford University, author of The Happiness Track
