Psychological & Brain Sciences 391NB - S-Neurobio of Psychotherapy

Mental health counseling remains a leading treatment option for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Yet the neurobiological mechanisms by which counseling exerts its effects are little discussed in a neuroscientific context. In this course, we will explore how counseling can influence cognition, emotion, and behavior through changes in brain function.
