Dr. Pieter Rossouw looks at the limbic system and the central role it plays in mental well-being. Covering the essential areas of the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus, Dr. Rossouw talks about the role of each, and the functionality and connectivity of the limbic system as a whole. Understanding the limbic system and the way it can drive behavioural responses is vital knowledge for the psychotherapist and this unit will give you the basic understanding you need.
