Abstract

The article presents a review and analysis of literature aimed at grounding psychotherapy within the context of contemporary neuroscientific concepts. It is suggested that on the neural level psychotherapy is associated with changes in the mentalizing and empathy networks’ connectivity. Several mechanisms underlying these changes are proposed: enhancement of the prefrontal system’s role in arousal regulation, oxytocin-related modulation of the attachment system, and optimization of predictive coding of interpersonal perception, including the prediction error processing pathway. The hypotheses are supported by studies in social, cognitive, affective and behavioral neuroscience, research in the field of psychotherapy, and neuroimaging data on the effects of psychotherapy.
