Dr. Jennifer Sweeton is a clinical psychologist, best-selling author, and internationally recognized expert on trauma, anxiety, and neuroscience. Based in Kansas City, Kansas, she has trained more than 15,000 clinicians in all fifty US states, and in over twenty countries.
Sweeton adeptly and singularly identifies and addresses the gap in translational science between neuroscience and mental health treatments. She moves neuroscience from an abstract, oblique idea to a comprehensible framework for clinicians and provides them with important and useful information about the vessel, the brain, through which they work. Her writing is clear and accessible; and the content goes above and beyond what most clinicians know about the brain and mental health and illness.--Christa Watson Pereira, Psy.D., Assistant Professor, University of California, San Francisco; Affiliate, University of California, Berkeley Sweeton distills neuroscience into engaging, comprehensible information for the everyday clinical psychologist, making it significantly easier to incorporate it into our therapeutic work. I've used this with my toughest trauma clients with measurable success.--Gricelda Fragoso, PsyD., Clinical Psychologist, Owner of Mind Body Soul Psychology Sweeton has written a wonderful, well-written, and insightful description of the way in which mental health and neuroscience connect.--Emma Seppälä, Ph.D., Yale School of Management, CCARE, Stanford University, author of The Happiness Track
