Bertisch — a practical, evidence-based guide that translates contemporary neuroscience into usable strategies for therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals.

This accessible volume bridges brain science and psychotherapy, offering clear explanations of neural mechanisms underpinning emotion, memory, trauma, and regulation. Schaefer and Bertisch present research-informed interventions, assessment pointers, and real-world case vignettes that make complex concepts immediately applicable in clinics, community mental health settings, and university training programs across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and beyond.
