dbpprop:abstract
  • Limbic regulation, mood contagion or emotional contagion is the effect of contact with other people upon the development and stability of personality and mood. The concept was advanced in the book A General Theory of Love (2000), and is one of three interrelated concepts central to the book's premise: that our brain chemistry and nervous systems are measurably affected by those closest to us; that our systems synchronize with one another in a way that has profound implications for personality and lifelong emotional health (limbic regulation); and that these set patterns can be modified through therapeutic practice.
