In Reassembling Models of Reality, neuropsychologist Aldrich Chan explores how our perception of reality is shaped and filtered by biological, psychological, sociocultural, and existential factors. The book examines the limitations in our awareness and how these "veils" affect clients' self-reporting in therapy. It covers topics including the default mode network, cognitive distortions, decision-making heuristics, and cultural concepts of distress, providing insights to help clinicians better assist their clients' psychotherapeutic journeys.

Clinical musings on the nature of reality and “known experience”.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Therapists must rely on their clients' reporting of experience in order to assess, treat, and offer help. Yet we all experience the world through various filters of one sort or another, and our experiences are transformed through several nonconscious processes before reaching our conscious awareness. Science, philosophy, and wisdom traditions share the belief that our awareness is very restricted. How, then, can anyone accurately report their experience, let alone get help with it?

Neuropsychologist Aldrich Chan examines how our experience of reality is assembled and shaped by biological, psychological, sociocultural, and existential processes in Reassembling Models of Reality. Each chapter explores processes within these domains that may act as "veils." Topics in the book include: the default mode network, cognitive distortions, decision-making heuristics, the interconnected mind, memory, and cultural concepts of distress. By understanding the ways in which reality can be distorted, clinicians can more effectively help their clients reach their personal psychotherapeutic goals.
