The text also introduces a new style of couple therapy for use in private practice settings: Brain-Informed Neurodiverse Couple Therapy (BINCT) . Chapters begin by providing some historical context of neurodiversity before ofering invaluable training on best practices, assessment, treatment planning, and using non-ableist, practical interventions for this population. Case studies that present a variety of sexual identities are featured throughout as well as a glossary of key terms and checklists that therapists can use immediately in their practice.  \nThis book aims to implement a paradigm shift in the feld and is essential reading for therapy students. It is invaluable reading for practicing therapists that did not receive training on working with neurodiverse clients.  \nKelli Murgado-Willard is a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 12 years’ experience. She writes from her first-hand experience of being neurodivergent and runs her own therapy practice, Love All the Brains, in Georgia, USA.  \n“Written with passion and intellectual rigor, this practical guide pulls readers into a unique approach that integrates the intersection of couple therapy and neurodiversity. With a foundation built on scientific evidence and theoretical rationale, Murgado-Willard offers a broad conceptual overview as well as specific techniques that can be implemented by therapists. Based on a decade of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist, Murgado-Willard’s innovative approach to neurodiverse couple therapy will appeal to graduate students expanding their base of knowledge as well as to seasoned clinicians seeking to continue their professional development.”  \n—William F. Doverspike, PhD, Adjunct Professor, Emory University  \n“Conversations with Kelli leave my head spinning with thoughts and possibilities. She approaches life with expertise, passion, and honesty. This book is no exception. My understanding of neurodiversity used to be limited in the past, but now I feel more confident and competent. I’m eager to apply these concepts and exercises in my work to best serve neurodiverse couples.”  \n—Rachelle Colegrove, MA, CST, Co-Founder of The Fun Marriage Workshop  \n“Kelli adds an important, missing piece to the field of relationship therapy and mental health care in general. One size does not fit all in relationships, and this text provides a solid foundation for mental health professionals wanting to better serve our many neurodivergent clients.”  \n—Dana Frederick, MA, LPC, LMFT  \nNeurodiverse Couple Therapy  \nA Practical Guide to Brain-Informed Care  \nKELLI MURGADO-WILLARD  \nDesigned cover image: © Bruce Rolf/Stocktrek Images @ Getty Images  \nFirst published 2024  \nby Routledge  \n605 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10158 and by Routledge  \n4 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 4RN  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business © 2024 Kelli Murgado-Willard  \nThe right of Kelli Murgado-Willard to be identifed as author of this work has been asserted in accordance with sections 77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.  \nAll rights reserved.
