Citing the latest neuroscientific research, it shows how the relationship between the two hemispheres of the brain is central to our mental health, and examines both the practical and theoretical implications for therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisconnections, dissociations, and imbalances between our two hemispheres underlie many of our most prevalent forms of mental distress and disturbance. These include issues of addiction, autism, schizophrenia, depression, anorexia, relational trauma, borderline and personality disorders, psychopathy, anxiety, derealisation and devitalisation, and alexithymia. A contemporary understanding of the nature of the divided brain is therefore of importance in engaging with and treating these disturbances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing contributions from some of the key authors in the field, \u003ci\u003eThe Divided Therapist \u003c\/i\u003esuggests that hemispheric integration lies at the heart of the therapeutic process itself, and that a better understanding of the precise mechanisms that underlie and enable this integration will help to transform the practice of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in the twenty-first century. The book will be essential reading for any therapeutic practitioner interested in how the architecture of the brain informs and effects their client's issues and challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRod Tweedy\u003c\/strong\u003e, PhD, is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe God of the Left Hemisphere: Blake, Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation \u003c\/i\u003e(Routledge, 2013), a study of William Blake's works in the light of contemporary neuroscience, and the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Political Self: Understanding the Social Context for Mental Illness \u003c\/i\u003e(Routledge, 2017).
