Psychological
Science Agenda Covers Porges' Polyvagal Theory
The
fall issue of Psychological Science Agenda, the newsletter of the
Science Directorate of the American Psychological Association, includes
a feature story on the research of Stephen
Porges, Ph.D. Entitled "Polyvagal Theory: Three Neural Circuits
Regulate Behavioral Reactivity," the article explains Porges's theory
that the neurocircuitry of human emotions evolved over time, and that
acoustic stimulation of this neurocircuitry can be an effective intervention
in autism-spectrum disorders.
