That psychotherapy works is a basic assumption of anyone who sees a
therapist. But why does it work? And why does it matter that we
understand how it works? In Why Therapy Works, Louis Cozolino
explains the mechanisms of psychotherapeutic change from the bottom
up, beginning with the brain, and how brains have
evolved-especially how brains evolved to learn, unlearn and
relearn, which is at the basis of lasting psychological change.
Readers will learn why therapists have to look beyond just words,
diagnoses and presenting problems to the inner histories of their
clients in order to discover paths to positive change. The book
also shows how our brains have evolved into social organs and how
our interpersonal lives are a source of both pain and power.
Readers will explore with Cozolino how our brains are programmed to
connect in intimate relationships and come to understand the
debilitating effects of anxiety, stress and trauma. Finally, the
book will lead to an understanding of the power of story and
narratives for fostering self-regulation, neural integration and
positive change. Always, the focus of the book is in understanding
underlying therapeutic change, moving beyond the particular of
specific forms of therapy to the commonalities of human evolution,
biology and experience. This book is for anyone who has experienced
the benefits of therapy and wondered how it worked. It is for
anyone thinking about whether therapy is right for them, and it is
for anyone who has looked within themselves and marvelled at
people's ability to experience profound transformation.
