Neuroscience of Enduring Change

Richard D. Lane is a clinical psychiatrist and psychotherapist trained in cognitive neuroscience and emotion research whose research has focused on brain mechanisms of emotion and emotion regulation, emotional awareness, neurovisceral integration and the mechanisms by which emotion influences susceptibility to sudden cardiac death. His background in cognitive and affective neuroscience is now being integrated with his ongoing experience as a therapist and psychotherapy educator.Lynn Nadel is a contributor to the literature on the hippocampus and its role in spatial memory, cognition, and consolidation, in humans and other animals. An active and influential contributor to the field for about 40 years who has advanced two influential theories of hippocampal function: Cognitive Map Theory and Multiple Trace Theory.

Neuroscience of Enduring Change and Psychotherapy: Summary, Conclusions and Future Directions

Understanding the therapy change process has fascinated clinicians and researchers for decades. This volume provides an important contribution to this understanding by linking basic research on neurology and emotion to clinical practice. Linking these findings to the contributions of differing approaches to therapy, the authors address a most important question, namely 'What can be an agreed-upon core or consensus in psychotherapy?'
