1st Edition
The Theory and Practice of Positive Neuropsychology New Perspectives on Nurturing Wellbeing
This pioneering work focuses on positive psychology and wellbeing from a neuropsychological perspective. It bridges social, emotional and psychological principles to explore the burgeoning field of positive neuropsychology.
Combining academic theory and clinical practice, it delves into foundational principles, assessments of neuro-cognitive health, evidence-based interventions, practical applications and real-life case studies, and the profound implications of positive neuropsychology in educational contexts. At the intersection between neuropsychology and positive psychology, this book advocates the recent shift toward recognizing the paramount importance of exploring the positive facets of neuropsychological functioning, rather than the historical focus of neuropsychology on ameliorating cognitive deficits and addressing neurological disorders.
A must-read for academics, clinicians, and students in neuropsychology, clinical psychology, and positive psychology, this book is also invaluable for anyone interested in enhancing cognitive well-being and resilience.
