Description

Description:

In the course of human evolution, our brains have been shaped by countless adaptational challenges resulting in an organ functioning simultaneously in the conscious present and our primitive and hidden past. This presentation will explore aspects of the human brain which make sustained intimate relationships both possible and problematic.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To describe the neurological substrate of bonding and attachment.
  2. To describe the impact of distortions inherent in human information processing have on intimate relationships.
