Reviews

"While practitioners, educators, and students have had a growing appreciation for the knowledge being generated in the field of neurocounseling, there has been a considerable call for clarification concerning its relevance in the everyday world of counseling professionals. By utilizing a thoroughly accessible, hands-on approach to the subject, Russell-Chapin, Pacheco and DeFord have answered the call by providing a much-needed text underscoring how systematic, well-conceived applications of neuroscience can provide a transformative approach to counseling practice." — Kathryn Z. Douthit, PhD, LMHC, professor of counseling and human development, University of Rochester"Russell-Chapin and colleagues have provided the field with an immensely useful and functional resource that supports individualized treatment and improved client outcomes. This innovative text skillfully links neuroscience-informed interventions with targeted brain-based changes. Counseling students and professionals alike will particularly appreciate the concise introductions to brain regions and functions and clear directions for applying various transtheoretical counseling techniques." — Raissa Miller, PhD, LCP, associate professor of counseling, Boise State University "Russell-Chapin, Pacheco and DeFord deliver a well-crafted manual for clinicians that has been sorely missing. This seamless integration of research-informed neurocounseling techniques and state of the art neuroimaging helps clinicians connect presenting issues, neuroscience, therapeutic approaches and interventions quickly and efficiently. Clinicians should keep this book close at hand at all times!" — Allen Novian, PhD, LPC-S, LMFT-S, BCN, neurofeedback program coordinator, St. Mary’s University
