Neuroscience - Informed Counseling with Children and Adolescents

Beschreibung

"We wrote this text with the intention to appeal broadly to new counselors and experienced practitioners. We also intended for this text to be useful to counselors in a variety of settings, such as schools, hospitals and residential facilities, and outpatient clinics. We cover general principles to counseling children and adolescents, before moving into more technical information about neurophysiological development across childhood and adolescence, and in-depth information about counseling approaches for different developmental stages. We divided the chapters into four sections. The first section provides a background to neuroanatomy and physiology. The second section focuses on neurophysiological development during childhood and relevant counseling approaches. The third section focuses on counseling adolescents. The conclusion features a chapter that explores the delivery of neuroscience education to clients, utilizing information that is introduced throughout the text. Our intent for each chapter was to present a neuroscience-informed approach to counseling children and adolescents, and thus we often draw from neuroscience findings when presenting information about child and adolescent development and counseling approaches at different developmental stages"--
