Abstract
A neural network theory is proposed for some of the effects of verbal psychotherapy in individuals who are not seriously disturbed but seeking to function more effectively. The network theories are built on a combination of the supervised ARTMAP network and competitive attractor dynamics. The modeling exercise leads to some guidelines for psychotherapists that involve both cognitive and emotional reinforcement in a climate closer to skill learning than to medical treatment.
