Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems in Therapy

De: Beatriz Sheldon, Albert Sheldon

Narrado por: Kate Zane

Beatriz and Albert Sheldon have spent the last twenty years developing the novel therapeutic paradigm called Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems (CIMBS). They have pioneered a new methodology for "reading" and assessing emotional states using their patients' carefully observed psychophysiological phenomena as empirical evidence. CIMBS also incorporates the latest groundbreaking research on neuroplasticity, brain development, and therapeutic change.

The authors demonstrate how they use psychophysiological perspectives to recognize limitations in brain systems that are interfering with their patients' functioning. And through "physiopsychotherapy," they activate self-affirming, nonconscious emotional resources to change rigid, maladaptive neural circuits. CIMBS offers a way of "integrating" these brain system resources to foster more complex and flexible mental functioning and to produce more successful psychotherapeutic outcomes.

This book is wide-ranging in documenting CIMBS' success at operationalizing neuroscience research. Translating their academic, scientific, and clinical research and successful training courses into a reference work that you can savor at leisure, the Sheldons have produced an approachable, intriguing, yet comprehensive milestone in the psychotherapeutic literature.

Great Book

An excellent introduction to a new emergent paradigm - one which takes the world of psychology to another dimension.

Great Neuroscience-Based Psychotherapy Paradigm

This is a very helpful book to increase your understanding of a new neuroscience-based psychotherapy paradigm. It is helpful to have the book for reference but as audio learning is my preferred way to learn this audio version has been an amazing addition. It would be good for both psychotherapists and clients who are curious about this way of working.

What a great resource.

For years, I have sat under the teaching of Beatriz and Albert Sheldon, learning CIMBS. I have watched them painstakingly write this book, putting so much into creating this resource for others. I had no idea how much I would appreciate it and how helpful it would be for me. It is quite difficult to communicate what CIMBS is. You almost have to experience it to really "get it." However, Beatriz and Albert have done an excellent job of making it come alive with their illustrations and case studies. Audio books can be good or not so good based on the narrator. The gentleness in the narrator's voice conveys so well the kindness and love present in CIMBS. She portrays well the cadence and flow of the therapists' and patients' voices. I especially love the way she beautifully picks up the accent of Beatriz Sheldon. It is quite remarkable. I highly recommend this audio book.
