What is neuropsychotherapy?
Neuropsychotherapy is a word describing a multidisciplinary, brain-based approach to personal therapy.
It combines knowledge of the psychology and the neuroscience that together underpin our thoughts and behaviours. It is firmly rooted in recent academic research. Neuropsychotherapy - often referred to as NPT - is an approach to wellness that focuses on the mind and thinking, on the body and the world around us, including our interactions with others.
It is a brain-based approach to achieving positive, personal change.
It is founded in the brain's ability to change - adapting to our environment and our experiences.
Until the 1990s the term neuroplasticity wasn't in common usage: the work of researcher Joseph LeDoux
demonstrated for the first time that established emotional, behavioural memories are not permanent fixtures once
they are established in the brain. This discovery opened the door to genuine, enduring beneficial change. But,
even though NPT seems to be a recent concept, it is definitely not the new kid on the block.
Although its development over the last 25 years has been dramatic, it has been a feature
of meaningful therapy for many years. Indeed, Sigmund Freud began his professional career researching
neuroscience, before he migrated into clinical psychology.
