It’s always a treat to have Lou on the show and to tap into his years of experience in the field and in his extensive research he does for his many books. Once again Lou Cozolino releases another book! This time it’s the Pocket Guide to Neuroscience for Clinicians published by W. W. Norton and Co.

The Pocket Guide to Neuroscience for Clinicians
A brief guide to the most important neuroscience concepts for all mental health professionals.
Louis Cozolino helps clinicians to broaden their thinking and deepen their clinical toolbox through an understanding of neuroscience, brain development, epigenetics, and the role of attachment in brain development and behavior.
The effective therapist must have knowledge of evolution and neuroanatomy, as well as the systems of our brains and how they work together to give rise to who we are, how we thrive, and why we suffer. This book will give clinicians all they need to understand the social brain, the developing brain, the executive brain, consciousness, attachment, trauma, memory, and the latest information about clinical assessment. Key figures and terms of neuroscience, along with numerous case examples, bring the material to life.
Cozolino is one of the most gifted clinical writers on neuroscience, and his long- awaited pocket guide is a must- buy for any clinician working on the cutting edge of treatment.
About The Author:
Thanks for providing this podcast with Dr. Cozolino. As a bio and neuro feedback clinician I’m missing being able to hook up sensors and actually get a picture of what’s happening in my client’s soma. These things provide another dimension to the language of attachment that Dr. Cozolino detailed in previous books. Now I’ll be limited to facial expression, prosody of voice, and gesture communicated by Zoom. I’m wondering how much the loss of facial expression hidden by a mask will inhibit social interaction at 6′? I’m interested in hearing how it’s going with tela-health with colleagues.
I too have been a student of Louis and currently teaching a neuroscience and counselling course utilising his book on healing the social brain. I thank you guys for always keeping in mind the practice of interpersonal neurobiology. I know we need to know the excutive functioning yet knowing the neuroscience in practice is so important and Louis is the master.
Thank you

This SoP podcast interview with Lou Cozolino is a good initial intro to Lou’s work. He has been a mentor-at-a-distance for me over the last few years. He is a clear writer and speaker, and so personable. Here is a clinician-scientist that I want to have a beer with and continue to learn from.
Thanks Matthew & Richard for this interview.
