Preface

This book, "The Psychology of the Brain," focuses on how emotions and mental disorders are formed and what occursmentally when there is a change due to therapy. Brain psychology refers to the psychological factors that cause mental distress and the mental processes that contribute to psychological well-being or distress. One of the reasons for studying brain psychology is that psychology and psychiatry face scientific and therapeutic challenges that need to be resolved forthese fields to be scientifically sound and effective in treating mental health issues.

The books on the Psychology of the Brain and Linguistic Brain Therapy, LBT, are intended for individuals who desire tocomprehend the construction of psychological issues and the mental processes involved when undergoing psychological changes in therapy. They also offer guidance on self-improvement and assisting others, including clients, relatives, friends, therapists, psychiatrists, healthcare professionals, students, educators, researchers, politicians, athletes, coaches, and leaders.

The motivation behind this book is that finding solutions to the challenges in psychology and psychiatry is tied to developing scientific knowledge about what happens in the brain when an individual develops or overcomes mental distress. This contributes to advancing scientific understanding of mental disorders, mental changes, and effective treatment methods.

The need for knowledge about brain psychology is also linked to the high prevalence of mental distress and the increasingnumber of affected individuals. Despite the growth of psychologists and research in the field, a solid scientific knowledge base for psychology and psychiatry has not been successfully established. Furthermore, a scientifically valid, controllable, and predictable treatment for mental distress has not been achieved.

Psychologists, researchers, and therapists possess knowledge, but there is no certain understanding of how mental distressis mentally constructed or what occurs mentally during psychological changes in therapy. This is a widely recognized fact. Books on brain psychology and linguistic brain therapy (LBT) claim to have discovered reliable knowledge on how psychologically rooted ailments are mentally constructed and what happens mentally during psychological changes through treatment.

In the book on LBT, I demonstrate how it is possible to address the challenges faced by psychology and psychiatry and howthese fields can be developed to become scientifically solid. I believe that the knowledge presented in books on brainpsychology and LBT can bridge the gap between psychology, neuropsychology, and brain psychological research. This knowledge is crucial for tackling the challenges of psychology.

The book on brain psychology and LBT aims to help therapists treat mental distress more quickly, with better outcomes, andwith greater scientific certainty. It also aims to empower clients to develop a simple and scientifically informed understanding of their psychological issues, fostering optimism and belief in their ability to improve even in severe cases. Additionally, it aims to provide insight into how family members can support individuals with mental health problems. The goal is to convey knowledge that enables precise research on psychological distress as experienced by clients and the mental processes that occur during psychological changes in therapy.
