Abstract

The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy: Healing the Social Brain is a useful addition to the literature base and could be used as a tool to both inform the future of clinical social work and to further legitimize many of the profession’s long-held standards of practice. In his book Cozolino, a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at Pepperdine University, has written extensively about the social aspects of the human brain, neurological development, attachment, consciousness construction, and the conflict between needs people face in modern society and the evolutionary developments their brains continue to carry.
