ABSTRACT
Psychotherapy is a complex affair. Consider what it means to be human: each body capitalizes on millions of years of biological evolution to form the most complicated object in the known universe, the human brain. Each brain supports consciousness by parallel processing 100 billion neurons, an amount that approaches the number of stars in the Milky Way. Each neuron communicates with approximately 100,000 of its near and distant neighbors to result in more neuronal synaptic interconnections in a single human brain than the number of known particles in the universe – 10 followed by a million zeros (Edelman, 1992).
