Synopsis

Connecting Paradigms: A Trauma-Informed & Neurobiological Framework for Motivational Interviewing Implementation provides an innovative approach to helping those struggling with past trauma to make critical life changes and heal from their pain and suffering. Scientific understanding of the brain, the impact of trauma, and research around behavioral change has grown exponentially over the last several decades. This knowledge is challenging and transforming thinking around how we provide mental health and substance abuse education, medical care, criminal justice, and social work. Connecting Paradigms presents an integrated model combining research in neurobiology, trauma, behavioral change, harm reduction, and Motivational Interviewing into a practical skillset easily implemented across a variety of settings and professions.

About this title

Review:

This book is a longawaited clinical Epiphany. Reading Matt Bennett's book ConnectingParadigms: A Trauma Informed & Neurobiological Framework for MotivationalInterviewing Implementation made me feel like every single clinicalpearl I've evet learned has come together in the most beautiful and utilitariannecklace. It pulls the chord all the way from neurobiology class throughmotivational interviewing and my clinical training, all with a foundationalphilosophy of harm reduction.  In mypursuit of learning to be a healer, helping others do the same, andappreciating my own personal process, I have not yet encountered such aconcise, practical and all inclusive approach. Many of us have gone totrainings, filled out CME papers that asked 'how will you use this in yourpractice?'.  What Matt has captured inthis book is our practice for guiding others and ourselves through thejourney of recovery from trauma.
