It explores the latest advances in understanding and treatment, while also addressing the concerns clinicians may have in providing treatment. Patients with disorders such as ADHD, dyslexia, and executive function disorders can often feel shame and develop defences as a result of their disorders. These defences can become overgeneralised, leading to future dysfunctional feelings, thoughts and behaviours. For therapists, the challenge is to find ways of responding to these patients and helping them deal with their issues at the level of multiple domains of self-experience, rather than at the single level of their intrapsychic dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book proposes a new neuropsychodynamic perspective bound together by a metatheory, deriving from dynamic systems theory. Joseph Palombo breaks new ground in his consistent application of non-linear dynamic systems theory and a levels-of-analysis perspective. The framework suggested conceives of the therapeutic process as a collaborative effort in which each member of the dyad makes a unique contribution to the process. Change agents that permit patients to benefit from therapeutic interventions include the relationship between patient and therapist, the understanding that emerges from the identification of the self-deficits, and the proactive engagement of the patient’s sense of agency. The great advantage of Palombo’s framework is that it permits the integration of a broad set of domains of experience that include the neuropsychological, the introspective, and the interpersonal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will allow the reader to become familiar with the types of patients that have neuropsychological deficits, providing an understanding of the psychodynamics of these conditions and enabling better preparedness to address psychological needs.
