The Mind-Brain Continuum: Psychoneurointracrinology

This insightful book proposes a holistic theory of the development of self, drawing on interdisciplinary literature in existential-phenomenology, neurophenomenology, intracrinology, endocrinology, and naturopathic medicine.

The psychoneurointracrine hypothesis bridges the gap between the mind and brain, providing a framework to explain the complex system that facilitates development of one's sense of self and well-being.

The book challenges assumptions in present day neuroscience and psychiatry, placing the mind and brain on a continuum of health and growth rather than reducing the study of human consciousness to neurobiological terms and pathological classifications.

Professionals and students in psychiatry and psychological medicine will find this book a practical reference, while a broad interdisciplinary audience across the sciences and humanities will find it a unique and accessible perspective on cognition and the self.
