Klappentext zu „Depathologizing Psychopathology “
This brief, accessible treatise harnesses the neurophysiological processes of learning to create an innovative and powerful approach to therapy. It sets out a non-pathologizing alternative not only to the current medicalized conception of diagnosis and treatment but also to the labeling of relatively normal reactions to stressors and upsets as illnesses. Rooted in the neurobiology of human learning, the book's approach to treatment, Neuro-Cognitive Learning Therapy, characterizes maladaptive behavior patterns as learned responses to upsetting conditions-processes which can be unlearned. In addition, the coverage includes a clinical teaching guide for bringing NCLT theory and methods into the training curriculum.This groundbreaking volume:
- Proposes a non-stigmatizing learning model for therapy, Neuro-Cognitive Learning Therapy.
- Introduces the concept of the connectome and explains its critical role in mental health and illness.
- Differentiates between the unconscious and automaticity in cognition and behavior.
- Addresses the applicability of NCLT to biologically-based mental disorders.
- Offers case studies illustrating NCLT in contrast with commonly-used approaches.
- Includes a chapter-by-chapter clinical teaching guide with therapeutic principles and discussion questions.
- Provides a comprehensive therapeutic framework for practitioners of all orientations.
Depathologizing Psychopathology gives neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and child and school psychologists new ways of thinking about mental illness and learning about learning for a bold new step in the evolution of mind/brain knowledge.

Pressezitat
"This volume might be best used as an addition to an advanced psychopathology for graduate students and psychiatry residents. ... the authors include an appendix with suggested teaching objectives and exercises. It will also be of use and of interest to practitioners and researchers. There is much of intellectual and clinical value in this volume. Wasserman and Wasserman do us a great service in challenging the status quo and in developing a true neuropsychological model of psychopathology and its treatment."
