Description

This seminar gives an overview of the brain and especially those areas related to the emotions. We will examine the neuro-biological processes of stress and anxiety and how these affect human behaviour; the social cognitive brain; mirror neurons; interpersonal neurobiology and some behaviour issues like ADHD, Alexithymia, compulsive disorders and learning difficulties.

The substance of the seminar borrows from the likes of Dr Daniel Siegel (interpersonal neurobiology), Lou Cozolino PhD (The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy), Ernest Rossi PhD (The Psychobiology of Gene Expression) and Matthew Lieberman (Social Neuroscience).
