Historical, scientific, and theoretical issues in the emergence of psychotherapy from its early roots in neurology are explored. Seeing the brain in an evolutionary context helps to understand its organization, vulnerabilities, and the emerging necessity of psychotherapy. These principles will be tied to the everyday clinical issues of the practicing therapist such as diagnosis, treatment and educating clients on how their brains work.
