Review
“There is no doubt that psychotherapists would benefit from understanding the neurobiology underpinning their interaction with patients. . . . [T]his is a ‘must read’ for psychotherapists of the 21st century.”
- British Journal of Psychiatry
“Beautifully organized and artfully presented, Cozolino provides an expansive and insightful account of the neuroscience that transpires between two individuals on a healing journey and why this neuroscience cannot be ignored.”
- Psych Central
“[T]he third edition of this must-have book from one of the great clinical psychologists of our time. . . It provides a clear overview of how the brain works, including a focus on the social brain and the neurobiology of attachment. . . . Written in a clear, engaging way, as though telling an unfolding story, making difficult material easily accessible.”
