Brain-Based Therapy with Adults: Evidence-Based Treatment for Everyday Practice

Brain Based Therapy with Adults
By John B. Arden and Lloyd Linford
Book Review
By Thomas Cohen, D.M.H.

Speaking as a Clinical Psychologist who has been practicing and teaching over 35 years, it is rare to find a book that conveys this much relevance, usefulness and non-dogmatic instruction.
Why would anyone want to read yet another textbook on psychotherapy? Because this book combines not only the most up to date research on psychotherapy outcome studies, but presents diagnosis and treatment in a sensible manner that follows from and is faithful to that research.
Is the book biased towards the approach of the authors and thus, like most accounts of therapy, relegated to describing solipsistic opinions? Yes, but those opinions are based more on solid research and cutting edge discoveries in neuro-science, than any other book I have ever seen. I am a psychoanalyst and thus feel the book leans too heavily towards CBT, but those accounts of CBT are dedicated to specific diagnostic conditions (e.g. anxiety disorder and OCD) that have extensive research to back up the claims. Also, the descriptions of treatment are concise and extremely informative about how CBT therapy works. CBT treatment is presented in a balanced context of its own limitations, contra-indications and the strengths of other treatments such as psychodynamic and relational/intersubjective approaches.
Considering that, as a field of study, brain science is only at its fledging beginnings, do we even know enough to create an approach that utilizes the rapidly growing body of information about how the brain works? I questioned how one could make the leap from the neuro-scientific laboratory to the consulting room.
