Welcome to The Neuropsychotherapist.  I hope you find our first issue engaging and helpful as we canvass various disciplines within the world of mental health.  Today we stand at the threshold of a new era in psychotherapy, where groundbreaking discoveries in neuroscience paint an exciting new picture of the brain and its previously little-understood potential for transformation.  I invite you to join us on the journey as we learn more of our remarkable nature as human beings. – Ed.
