The Neuroaffective Picture Book 3: Adulthood, realization and wisdom - Paperback

by Marianne Bentzen (Author), Susan Hart (Author), Kim Hagen (Illustrator)

Explore the developmental stages of adulthood with THE NEUROAFFECTIVE PICTURE BOOK 3! In text and pictures, this book takes the reader on an exciting and educational journey through the different stages of adulthood, describing how our personality and skills develop and adapt to our unique life and culture. The imaginative images in the book help bring the text to life and give the reader a deeper understanding of the processes described.

Research on brain development shows that all of our important personality skills continue to develop throughout life, based on experience. The book describes how these processes unfold, whether we live alone, with a partner and children, or in other family and social contexts.

THE NEUROAFFECTIVE PICTURE BOOK 3 is written for everyone who wants to understand the maturational processes of adulthood from the perspective of brain development and life in our own cultural context. The book provides a simple and body-based explanation of the maturational levels of adulthood and shows how patterns that first develop in childhood and adolescence can become either resources, abandonment or inertia in adulthood.

The book is a stand-alone sequel to The Neuroaffective Picture Book and The Neuroaffective Picture Book 2, and it is suitable for therapists, psychologists, psychotherapists and educators, as well as for anyone who wants to understand more about their own and others' adult lives.
