Behavioral Neuroscience is the discipline dedicated to the scientific investigation of theory evaluating the underlying biological bases of human behavior. Counseling psychology within primary care is interdisciplinary, as much of today’s healthcare climate is, and requires knowledge of psychology, biology, chemistry, neuropharmacology, biochemistry, and the clinical sciences (e.g., neurology and neuropsychiatry). Basic concepts of many facets of biopsychosocial model will be introduced including sensation and perception, brain waves, sleep and arousal, the biology of emotions, genetic influences, and other special topics such as neuropsychology, executive functioning, cognitive processes, and biofeedback.
