How do brain, mind, matter, and energy interact? Can we create a comprehensive model of the mind and brain, their interactions, and their influences? Synthesizing research from neuroscience, physics, biology, systems science, information science, psychology, and the cognitive sciences, "The Neurophysics of Human Behavior" advances a unified theory of brain, mind, behavior and information. This groundbreaking work helps you more deeply understand, more accurately predict, and more effectively change human behavior - a significant contribution to the fields of psychology, education, medicine, communications, and human relations. Cognitive neurophysics, as detailed in this work, presents an integrated perspective of brain, mind, behavior, thoughts, and nature.The distinguished authors emphasize the need to view psychological science - and our image of the 'self' - in the context of the physical world: matter, energy, and natural laws. NeuroPrint is the powerful application model of this perspective. This comprehensive, detailed algorithm defines the network of interactions that develop brain, mind, behavior, thoughts, and emotions and redefines the meaning of psychotherapeutic intervention. "The Neurophysics of Human Behavior" gives the background, tools, and methods for intervention and modeling. It outlines the systematic, behavioral approach of NeuroPrint, promising to promote a deep understanding of the process of human change. Using "The Neurophysics of Human Behavior", practitioners and researchers can plot and gauge the paths of change in neurocognitive dynamics and the improvements in mental health.
Since 1974, I've been a practicing clinical psychologist, although I became passionate about the mind, psychology and hypnosis during my teenage years. In 1968, I graduated from Duquesne University with undergraduate study in philosophy and psychology. The day after graduation, I suffered a severe automobile accident and had a near-death experience. (For many years after the accident I experienced frequent panic attacks, which I eventually overcame without formal therapy.) After recovering from injuries and a spleenectomy, I took a job teaching English, French, theater and civics to 8th graders at a parocial school in Pittsburgh. During that time, I discovered the therapeutic value of acting for several of my students. In 1969, I also attended graduate school in philosophy. After traveling the United States and working as a counselor for several years, I completed graduate training in clinical psychology and child development, receiving an MA from the University of Dayton and a doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh. I also completed postgraduate study at Kent State University and Youngstown State University. My clinical psychology internship was at Dayton Mental Health Center. Before entering private practice, I worked in the fields of juvenile corrections, mental retardation, learning disabilities, child welfare, vocational rehabilitation, chemical dependency, and I also taught briefly at Penn State University. I have been on staff at hospitals since 1980, consulting with physicians about the care of patients. I have been a member of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Pennsylvania Psychological Association (PPA) since the mid 1970s. Since its inception, I have been an advisory board member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP) and have been a frequent presenter at ACEP Conferences.
Since 1993, I have written and presented extensively on Energy Psychology. Besides numerous manuals, journal articles and book chapters, I've published 8 books. I named and introduced the field in my 1998 book, Energy Psychology. Next followed Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods in 2000; The Neurophysics of Human Behavior (Furman & Gallo 2000); Energy Tapping (Gallo & Vincenzi, 2000); and an edited volume, Energy Psychology in Psychotherapy in 2002. My sixth book is the 2005 second edition of Energy Psychology, a revision with expanded chapters and extensive information on energy psychology research, treatment approaches, and resources. The seventh book is Energy Tapping for Trauma (2007). And the eighth is the second expanded edition of Energy Tapping in 2008. I've also published numerous manuals on energy psychology, Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods (EDxTM(tm)), and Energy Consciousness Therapy (ECT(tm)) in English, German, Finnish, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Swedish. So far several of my books have been translated into German and Spanish. I also published an audiotape and CD on the Healing Energy Light Process (HELP(tm)) and a DVD covering several techniques from Energy Tapping for Trauma. You can read about these books, manuals, and the audiotape at my website www.energypsych.com/. I'm also pleased that many of my students in the USA and Europe have published successful books on Energy Psychology.
I have been studying and practicing various approaches to psychological treatment since the early 1960's. In the early 1980's, I began offering and since 1993 I have been offering training internationally in Energy Psychology. Since that time I have trained thousands of professionals in my methods.
I've established two free email lists: the EnerGym Forum, which focuses on a variety of energy-based and therapeutic topics available to anyone interested in such topics; and the EDxTM Forum, which offers ongoing support for Energy Psychology and EDxTM professionals. Information on participation in these lists can be obtained by going contacting fgallo@energypsych.com. You can directly subscribe to EnerGym at energym-subscribe@yahoogroups.com/.
In addition to writing and training professionals, I maintain a clinical practice in Hermitage, PA--Gallo & Associates--which offers services to adults, adolescents, and children. I am also on staff at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) at Horizon and the Children's Aid Society of Mercer County.
Carolyn and I live in beautiful New Wilmington, PA--Amish country. Our home is situated on 11 acres with horse barn, run-in, pasture, pond, and guest house. We enjoy the company of horses (Styles et al.), four cats (Q, Sam, Casey & Mel), several fish in an aquarium (not formally christened), and who knows how many fish and turtles in the pond (not sure of their names), plenty of "visiting" Canada geese, mallards, cranes, turkeys, barn swallows, deer, ground hogs, squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks (don't know their names either). Most importantly, we have the privilege of three wonderful and cherished daughters (Aimee, Amy, and Pamela), their loving husbands, our 14-year-old granddaughter (Hanna), two 6-year old grandsons (Aidan and Michael) and a 4-year old grandson (Ryan). Although we have our share of trials and tribulations (don't we all), life has been very good--actually quite remarkable!
Warmly wishing you the best of health and happiness,
这本书的行文风格,老实说,比我想象的要更偏向于一种沉思录式的内省体验,而非纯粹的教科书式讲解。作者似乎更热衷于提出深刻的问题,而不是急于给出标准答案。在探讨情感与理性这对永恒的矛盾时,他没有采取传统的二元对立论述,而是巧妙地引入了物理学的某些概念进行类比,这让我耳目一新。我记得有一个章节详细描述了“涌现性”在群体行为中的体现,作者的论证过程极其严谨,每一步推导都建立在扎实的观察之上,读起来需要全神贯注,但一旦领悟其中的逻辑链条,那种豁然开朗的感觉是无与伦比的。我甚至不得不时常停下来,合上书本,走到窗边思考作者提出的那些哲学层面的延伸问题,比如自由意志的边界究竟在哪里。这已经超越了一本单纯的科普读物范畴,更像是一次对人类心智本质的哲学远足。
评分最让我印象深刻的是这本书的结构布局,它像是一部精心编排的交响乐,节奏的张弛拿捏得极妙。开篇的宏大叙事逐渐收敛到对个体神经回路的微观分析,然后又突然拔高到社会互动层面的宏观观察。这种螺旋上升的结构,保证了读者在感到信息量过载时,总能被拉回到一个更广阔的视角进行重新定位。它并非一本你可以轻松翻阅的“床头读物”;它需要你投入时间、精力,甚至可能需要重读某些章节才能完全消化。我特别赞赏作者引用了大量前沿的实验数据,但他的处理方式非常高明,没有让数据淹没论点,而是将数据作为支持其核心论点的有力佐证。读完后,我感觉我的“思维工具箱”里多了一些强有力的分析工具,能够从一个全新的、更具物理学基础的角度去观察人类的怪癖与伟大之处。
评分我必须承认,这本书的深度对普通读者来说可能是一个挑战,它的学术积累显然非常厚重。不过,对于那些对基础科学原理有一定了解,并且渴望看到跨学科融合的读者来说,这简直是一座宝藏。作者在处理复杂模型时,展现出一种令人惊叹的清晰度,他没有回避那些技术性的细节,但总是能找到一个恰当的比喻来锚定读者的理解。举例来说,他对随机过程在决策偏好形成中的作用的阐述,简直可以作为典范。他不仅仅是在描述现象,更是在剖析现象背后的动力学规律。我发现自己时不时会去查阅一些相关的物理学或生物学概念来辅助理解,这使得阅读过程变成了一种主动的学习建构,而不是被动的信息接收。这本书迫使你重新审视那些你认为理所当然的日常行为,赋予了它们一层深邃的、由基础科学支撑起来的意义。
评分这本书的语言风格有一种独特的节奏感,它不像某些严肃的学术著作那样冰冷刻板,反而带有一种冷静的激情。作者的遣词造句非常考究,用词精准,极少有冗余的表达。在描述那些我们习以为常的情感反应时,他能将其分解还原为一系列电化学反应和能量守恒的体现,这种“去魅”的过程非但没有削弱情感的价值,反而赋予了它们一种宇宙尺度的必然性。我喜欢他偶尔穿插的一些文学性的反思,这些片段像是思维的留白,让读者得以喘息并内化刚刚学到的复杂知识。它成功地搭建了一座坚实的桥梁,连接了看似毫不相关的两个领域——严谨的自然科学与变幻莫测的人类行为学。合上书本时,我感到的是一种充实的疲惫,像是刚刚完成了一场艰苦却无比值得的智力攀登。
评分这本书的封面设计着实吸引人,那种深邃的蓝色调配上抽象的神经元网络图景,让人立刻联想到大脑内部那些错综复杂、难以捉摸的活动。我是在一家独立书店偶然发现它的,当时我正在寻找一些关于认知科学与哲学交叉领域的著作,希望能找到一些既有深度又能带来新视角的思考。这本书的排版也很有格调,字体选择和段落间距处理得恰到好处,读起来非常流畅,即便内容涉及到一些相对晦涩的理论,也不会让人感到视觉上的疲劳。我尤其欣赏作者在引言部分对研究背景的梳理,那种条分缕紊的叙述方式,为接下来的深入探讨打下了坚实的基础。它不像许多同类书籍那样堆砌晦涩的术语,而是努力用一种更具画面感和叙事性的语言来引导读者进入主题。读完前几章,我感觉自己仿佛站在一个巨大的实验室外,正透过精密的仪器观察着人类决策机制的微观运作,那种探索未知领域的兴奋感令人难以抗拒。
