Brain Talk has a textbook-type Index offering granular access to the brain science and therapy details contained within it. Below is an illustrative sample. The Index contains copious entries covering every aspect of the book. This sample highlights one of the Index’s strong points:
Whereas the Table of Contents organizes Brain Talk for the general public, the Index does the same for mental health professionals. The Index is organized around Crucible Neurobiological Therapy, its methods, important ideas, and theoretical underpinnings.
eBook versions (Standard and Professional) of Brain Talk have hyperlinked Indexes that take you right to the main text. This greatly facilitates pursuing particular topics of interest as they surface throughout the book. It’s as simple as touching the screen of your reading device or clicking your mouse.
