New Scenarios

The article explores the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and genomics, emphasizing the importance of a multidimensional approach to health that integrates mind and body. The authors, Mauro Cozzolino and Giovanna Celia, discuss their development of a paradigm that combines psychological and genomic interventions to enhance overall well-being. This approach, called psychosocial genomics, has been shown to stimulate the body's natural healing processes by influencing gene expression in response to psychological and social experiences. They specifically highlight the use of Mind-body Transformation Therapy (MBT-T) and Brain Wave Modulation Technique (BWM-T) in reducing stress and anxiety, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. These interventions have proven effective even when administered online, offering a promising tool for mental health care in the current global context.
