Changing Habits of Mind presents a theory of personality that integrates homeostatic dynamics of the brain with self-processes, emotionality, cultural adaptation, and personal reality. Informed by the author’s brain-based, relational psychotherapeutic practice, the book discusses the brain’s evolutionary growth, the four information-processing areas of the brain, and the cortex in relationship to the limbic system. Readers will learn how to integrate psychodynamic processes with cognitive behavioural techniques, while clinical vignettes exemplify the interaction of neurophysiological process with a range of psychological variables.
