This book explores how psychotherapy and psychophysiology can be integrated to improve therapy outcomes and provides a guide for professionals on integration in clinical practice. Increasingly, many psychotherapists use psychophysiological approaches as a part of their therapy but currently no books address psychotherapy/psychophysiology integration. This book can be used in a classroom setting to teach psychotherapy/psychophysiology integration. The book is structured in three parts: theory, assessment, and intervention. The first part focuses on conceptual models for psychotherapy/psychophysiology integration, highlighting an evolutionary approach, brain plasticity, and an embodied understanding of affect. The second part focuses on assessment in psychophysiological psychotherapy, introducing dimensional and hierarchical approaches to diagnostic assessment, highlighting the biology of personality and stress, and showing how a dimensional approach can be used to understand and conceptualize personality. The third part focuses on integrating psychophysiology into clinical practice, emphasizing therapist flexibility, heart rate variability biofeedback, breath training, and compassion-focused therapy.

Verified PurchaseI am a first year student pursuing MBBS. I am really grateful to medioks for being student oriented. I was looking for a book but I couldn't find it anywhere in the market. The high demand of the book made it very costly to afford online but when I found it on medioks, I was so happy to get? the original book at a reasonable cost.
