NEW BOOK TO BE PUBLISHED IN 2026 BY TAYLOR & FRANCIS!​
Translating Affective Neuroscience into Clinical and Educational Practice: Body, Brain and Emotions translates the new research area of affective neuroscience into a practical framework for understanding emotion across development, learning, and mental health. Grounded in contemporary research on interoception, homeostasis, and core emotional systems, the book reframes emotions not as irrational disruptions but as biologically embedded tools for survival, connection, and agency. The text bridges brain–body science with real-world application, offering clinicians, educators, and caregivers a coherent model for recognizing, interpreting, and working with emotional states in children, adolescents, and adults. Written from the perspective of a pediatric neuropsychologist and educator, the book integrates theory, research, and practice to support emotionally informed assessment, intervention, and relational understanding across clinical and educational settings.
