Four Brain Theatres

A Different Diagnostic Model

  1. Perception

    captures incoming stimuli

     

  2. Attention, consciousness and cognition

    filter and process these perceptions

     

  3. The brain functions

    work with this information and affect how subsequent information is perceived and processed, resulting in

     

  4. Behaviour

    ultimately our identity.

By tracking experience from perception to identity we achieve two valuable objectives. First, patients become active participants in the search for a biological source for their misperceptions. Second, the approach frees them from a great deal of shame and self-blame, as they come to see the neurological origins of their challenges. Much of the shame, guilt, an self-loathing that patients - and all of us - experience stems from a belief, inadvertently echoed by psychoanalysis, that the failures caused by a person's deficits stem from problems of morality. Nonsense!
