THE NEUROPSYCHOTHERAPIST

Volume 7 Issue 1 (January 2019)

ISSN 2201-9529

WWelcome to the New Year and the first issue of The Neuropsychotherapist for 2019 under our exciting new brand, the Science of Psychotherapy! This year promises to have an international flavour that I’m sure will both fascinate and intrigue you. I look forward to bringing to you the ideas and practice experiences of people I have been fortunate to come to know over the years, as well as the knowledge and ideas of those yet to emerge. This issue gathers together authors from Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The topics we cover are equally diverse. In Australia, John Falcon has been working with addiction for decades, and he shares his knowledge, experiences and insights into this difficult problem. Sophia Davis has been working as a somatic therapist in Berlin for the past decade, and in her article, “Bringing the Body into the Therapy Room”, she shows us the importance of integrating the whole person into whatever therapy we practice and illustrates with a fascinating case example, how we might do this in our own practices. Derrick Hassert challenges us with a question all too many people ask: “Why does my brain hate me?” We need to understand this frustrating capacity that makes people feel dis-integrated—the opposite of integrated—and almost in a battle with parts of themselves. The contribution from the Aspen Institute, the first of a two-part series on “The Brain Basis for Integrated Social, Emotional, and Academic Development”, also deals with the importance of integration. The authors, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, Linda Darling-Hammond, and Christina Krone, present a detailed picture of educational development in young people from a brain-based perspective and challenge the developers of educational policy to pay attention to the knowledge we have about the brain and how it develops in those early years.

The Science of Psychotherapy website and The Neuropsychotherapist magazine is still the place where you are invited to share in the wealth of knowledge both as a user and a contributor. Our articles and video based education programs are valuable contributions to your continuing education; at the same time, we look forward to you sharing your knowledge with us and our community. We have many ways for you to do this throughout the website. I encourage you to join our forum discussions, add to our blogs, write for the magazine, and if you think of something we are not doing, please tell us, and we will see what we can create. Be a part of the growth and development of our profession in whatever way most effectively reflects your strengths and capabilities.

Welcome to the beginning of a new year and a new set of possibilities.
