Sensory Approaches to Mental Health Practice, 1st Edition, provides a systematic examination of sensory principles within contemporary psychiatric and clinical environments. Edited by Tawanda Machingura and Pamela Meredith, this book establishes fundamental theoretical and applied concepts tailored specifically for sensory neuroscience researchers and neuroscience clinicians involved in mental health practice.

The main thematic coverage explores three primary areas: sensory processing, sensory integration, and sensory modulation. The text explains how these core sensory frameworks connect directly with recovery-oriented practice, offering healthcare professionals structured methods to analyze sensory patterns and patient responses across varied clinical scenarios.

Published by Academic Press in March 2026, the volume further integrates sensory concepts with trauma-informed care to support informed clinical decision-making. This resource offers advanced practitioners and research personnel a dedicated, evidence-grounded reference for incorporating sensory models into established mental health settings.
