Brain has been the most fascinating and mysterious organ of the human body.
Researchers have tried to explore into each and every function of different parts
of the human brain linking it up with various mental and neural processes, some
of which are phylogenetically shared and many are unshared. It has been
hypothesized that brain is built during development and can be rebuilt during
psychotherapy. Recent research in neuroscience of socioemotional cognition,
developmental neuroscience, coupled with advances in investigative techniques of
brain functions has provided tremendous opportunities for the study of brain and
the mind. In this article, in the initial part, we have tried to explain the
developmental processes involved in building of the human brain and what changes
occur when an individual develops a psychiatric disorder. Later on, we have tried
to postulate from different researches available that how psychotherapy can bring
about a change in the neural mechanisms of the brain producing long-lasting
effects. Several changes in the neural architecture of the brain occur during the
process of psychotherapy. Further, we would like to elaborate on the hypothesis
based on available literature that if psychiatric disorders can debuild the
brain, then psychotherapy can help in rebuilding it again.
