AB - We introduce and implement a neural model for mentalization/mindfulness basedpsychotherapy. It uses Dan Levine’s neural model of pathways foremotional-cognitive decision making, which is integratedwith a competitive Hopfield network built up from the new concept of strong patternsfor the six basic emotions and for mentalization ormindfulness. We adopt a particular form of Q-learning toreinforce the mentalizing/mindful pattern in the network,which represents the process of psychotherapy. In a successfulcourse of therapy, the mentalizing/mindful pattern becomes themore dominant pattern compared to negative emotions and thebrain makes decisions that are more deliberate and thoughtfulthan heuristic and automatic.
