- Limbic revision is the therapeutic alteration of personality residing in the human limbic system of the brain. The concept was first 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; and that these set patterns can be modified through therapeutic practice (limbic revision) by utilizing the properties of limbic resonance and limbic regulation in a therapeutic setting. Lewis, Amini and Lannon state "The neocortical brain collects facts quickly. The limbic brain does not. Motional impressions shrug off insight but yield to a different persuasion: the force of another person's Attractors reaching through the doorway of a limbic connection. Psychotherapy changes people because one mammal can restructure the limbic brain of another. " They go on critique the modern self-help movement in terms that also would apply to the insight-focused methodology of some therapists: "Describing good relatedness to someone, no matter how precisely or how often, does not inscribe it [italics theirs] into the neural networks that inspire love."
