Abstract

Since the end of the 70s a number of researchers in the area of psychology were members of a generation of pioneers who gave new views regarding the mind, behavior and intelligence as measurable and quantifiable elements, but also how these elements were not alone or isolated, it was rather the rediscovery of how these diverse properties are intertwined in a harmonious way; as time passed, names like: Howard Gardner, Daniel Goleman, Daniel Siegel, Tony Buzan, Christina Maslasch and more recent Rafael Yuste, to mention a few, were contributing to this change, these researchers and their contributions that seem distant are that they aim to a greater understanding of the human mind and its functioning. During the pre and postgraduate medicine studies together with the clinical exercise, for different reasons: hourly load, number of hours of work and study, there tends to be isolation from other scientific branches and we lose the ability to exchange information that can help us understand our patients and even ourselves.
