Most people don’t appreciate how often emotions influence their thinking, decision-making, and behaviours. Two recent items have reinforced this idea for me. The first is research on social interactions among primates and bats (Science, 2021-10-24). A reviewer of the study asked, “What if embedding the brain in a group changed how it works?”
The discussion about vaccinations gets pretty polarized. What’s driving that polarization may surprise you.
I often think of the concepts of emotional distance and fusion as opposites, but are they? Dr. Bowen borrowed the concepts of fusion and differentiation from biological processes.
