The clinician needs to make sense of many client experiences in the
course of daily practice: do these experiences reflect the simple
product of complex neurochemical activity, or do they represent
another dynamic involving the subjective self? When research
findings from the neurosciences are applied to clinical psychology,
reductionist thinking is typically followed, but this creates
problems for the clinical practitioner. In this book Tony Schneider
draws together the three strands of philosophy, neuroscience, and
psychology to explore the mind/body question as it affects the
clinician. Taking a position more closely aligned with dualism, he
argues for the utility in making distinctions between brain
activity and 'I' - the subjective self - both in general
psychological functioning and in psychopathology. Schneider
considers traditional psychological topics contextualized by
neuroscience research and the mind/body issue, as well as applying
the ideas to various areas of clinical practice. Topics include:
-the mind and body from the clinician's perspective -fundamental
aspects of the role and mechanics of the brain -the developing self
and the relationship of 'I' with the self and with others
-psychological functioning such as focus and memory, sleep and
dreaming, and emotions and pain. The idea that 'I am not my brain'
will resonate with many clinicians, and is systematically argued
for in clinical literature and neuropsychology research here for
the first time. The book will be of particular interest to
psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and clinicians who wish
to incorporate advances in neuroscience research in the
conceptualization of their clinical work, and are looking for a
working model that allows them to do so.
