Experts in the cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) field have reconsidered conventional CBT models to incorporate findings from neuroscience regarding how CBT changes functions of the brain (e.g., Clark & Beck, 2010). To address the need for more CBT models that incorporate neuroscientific knowledge, a new model of neuroscience-informed cognitive-behavior therapy (n-CBl) was described in the Summer 2015 edition of the Journal of Mental Health
Counseling (Field, Beeson, & Jones, 2015). This model updated conventional forms of CBT with insights from neuroscience regarding physiological arousal
and
bottom-up processing (e.g., McRae, Misra, Prasa, Pereira, & Gross, 2012).
The new model of n-CBT (Field et ah, 2015) modified Ellis’ (1962)
