We have now considerable knowledge about effective counseling and therapeutic interventions. However, much is still unknown regarding the mechanisms through which these empirically based interventions operate. Counselors and psychotherapist need to be aware of the most effective psychosocial mechanism that positively or negatively influence neuroplasticity across various stages of development. For the last decades neuroscience research has substantially contribute to clarify those mechanisms. We are now starting to more clearly understand the relationship between brain, mind, and health. In this new edition, Zalaquett, Ivey, Ivey do a fantastic job in showing how neuroscience findings can be translated into more effective counselling and psychotherapy intervention. This is an essential reading for all the health providers committed to the promotion of positive brain plasticity in mental health." —Óscar F.
