The Power of Neuroplasticity for Pastoral and Spiritual Care - Paperback

by Kirk A. Bingaman (Author)

Studies in neuroscience have revealed that the human brain is built for change across the entire lifespan, and that through mindfulness and contemplative-meditational practices it is possible to calm the fear and stress regions of the brain. This book provides practitioners and clinicians with a clear understanding of how the findings can be applied to the work of pastoral and spiritual care, helping clients and congregants to cultivate less anxious and more positive perspectives on life.
