Perspectives in Financial Therapy

As we deepen our understanding of the interplay between money and psychology, financial therapy has emerged as a popular field of study. This book offers a diverse range of perspectives on the practice of financial therapy, exploring its benefits, challenges, and potential critiques. The book also provides practical guidance for financial therapists as well as financial planning and mental health practitioners who incorporate financial therapy into their work. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the neurobiology of financial decision-making, models in financial therapy, online financial therapy, generational differences in financial attitudes, incorporating financial therapy into divorce planning, and techniques for coping with the stresses associated with estate planning. The book addresses the need for culturally relevant assessments of financial therapy in African contexts and offers a critical appraisal of the field of financial therapy. By providing multiple perspectives and practical guidance, this book will be a valuable resource for students, scholars, and researchers in financial therapy, financial planning and related fields, as well as the broader field of psychology.
