Description: Neurobiology for Clinical Social Work : Theory and Practice, Hardcover by Shapiro, Janet R.; Applegate, Jeffrey S.; Cozolino, Louis (FRW), ISBN 0393711641, ISBN-13 9780393711646, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK In this book, the authors aim to inform clinical social workers and social work educators about the study of brain development and applications to clinical social work practice in various settings. They discuss the specific biopsychosocial processes that constitute the helping relationship and explain the fundamentals of brain structure, development, and function, focusing on aspects most useful in understanding affect regulation; the neurobiology of memory, including research on the impact of stress and trauma on brain organization and function in ways that impact learning and memory; a neuropsychological conceptualization of affect; precursors to attachment that evolve in early life; and research on the stress response system and how experiences of early adversity may become hardwired and influence brain development and the neuroendocrine systems underlying the stress response. Chapters also address infant mental health as a specialized area that emphasizes the caregiver-child relationship as key to well-being in general and neurobiological well-being in particular; research on adolescent brain development and systems associated with juvenile justice and the impact of trauma on brain development in adolescence and how social workers can use this knowledge to inform intervention approaches; translating neuroscience research to social work practice and the role of neural integration across models of psychotherapy; and implications for social work education. Included are three case studies involving different approaches. This edition integrates new research in areas like the neurobiology of stress and the stress response system, the impact of early adversity and toxic stress on brain development, early childhood and adolescent brain development, and the application of neuroscience to prevention and intervention in areas like child welfare and juvenile justice.
