The brain transforms psychology into biology

The last 20 years have seen an explosion of new discoveries in the field of neuroscience, due not least to advances in investigative methods, above all by the possibility of brain scanning, MRI, PET and so on. This has made possible the detailed functional observation of the body in a non-invasive manner, thus allowing researchers unprecedented access to the human brain. Significantly for body psychotherapy, a host of recent studies appear to support the basic premises of humanistic psychology. As a specialist both for neurobiology and psychotherapy, Joachim Bauer is uniquely positioned to interpret the impact of these developments on our understanding of psychology and their possible implications for therapy. In the following interview, he discusses with Elizabeth Marshall some of the relevant aspects of the latest research.
