We are born to relate to one another, and this is done through emotions.
Our brain, body, and mind are inseparable from the emotions that animate them, and emotions are thus the intersection of thought and action, self and others, human and environment, biology and culture.
"The Healing Power of Emotions" is part of the Norton Interpersonal Neurobiology Series, offering a cutting-edge, multidisciplinary perspective that expands our neurobiological understanding of the complex human mind.
『The Healing Power of Emotions』; written by leading neuroscientists, clinicians, attachment researchers, and psychotherapists who have contributed to understanding human emotions and brain development, shows how to use brain-based insights and the emotions that are always with us to heal the mind, and presents a deep and expansive view of emotions, striking an excellent balance between clinical practice and science.
