inspiring clinical educator to demonstrate how the brain influences
our most intimate bonds. Offering useful practice suggestions and
vivid case illustrations, she explains how, with the brain's
plasticity, we can shape and change patterns of interaction to
bring out the best in loving relationships over the life course. I
recommend this book most highly to deepen and enrich the practice
of all seasoned clinicians as well as beginning therapists." --
