Excerpt
Although we cannot yet explain the workings of the mind in the language of the brain or the process of psychotherapy in the language of the neuron, we are closer than ever before to being able to do so. The challenge for any chapter on neuroscience as it relates to psychotherapy is to demonstrate the tantalizing connections between the two without shifting into neuroscience as metaphor, on the one hand, and without forcing premature closure between the fields, on the other. In this chapter we examine a number of known neuroscience mechanisms and explore their relevance to various forms of psychotherapy.
