Introduction to the Biological approach

In the second half of our double today we briefly introduced the biological approach. This rests on the assumption that all the psychological phenomena  we experience (emotions, thoughts, memories) there is a physical (physiological) change in the body associated with this, and we should try to understand, and if necessary change this.

Here is the presentation - mainly nice pictures!
