Description

Description:

This workshop discusses the brain circuitry of the three primary mating emotions: lust, attraction and attachment. It traces the evolution of these emotion systems and illustrates how their neural circuitry contributes to contemporary patterns of marital harmony and discord including adultery; divorce; stalking behavior; clinical depression due to rejection in love; and other issues brought to contemporary couples therapy.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To describe how data from biology, evolution and neuroscience explain human patterns of courtship and family life.
  2. To name three ways the three primary emotion systems contribute to intimacy, marriage and divorce.
