Thalamus
Acts as a relay station for the top-down, bottom-up neural
networks that connect the cortex to the limbic system. There

is constant interaction between the thalamus and the cortex,
and all sensory information, except for smell, which is routed
through the thalamus to the cerebral cortex. Mediates the
interaction between attention and arousal and is therefore
relevant to the phenomenology of trauma.
T or F: Neuroimaging studies show decreased thalamic
activity in subjects with PTSD
True
Violating clinical norms
not referring someone in a troubled marriage for couples
therapy, accepting personal counseling from a supervisor, and
so on
Professional isolation

black box metaphor
Viewing people as black boxes may seem like the ultimate
expression of mechanistic thinking, but this metaphor had the
advantage of simplifying the field of study by eliminating
speculation about the mind in order to concentrate on people's
input and output—that is, communication and behavior.
Bertalanffy's general systems theory
>A system as more than the sum of its parts
>Emphasis on interaction within and among systems versus
reductionism.
>Human systems as ecologic organisms versus mechanism
>Concept of equifinality.
>Homeostatic reactivity versus spontaneous activity.
Constructivism
A movement in IR theory that examines how changing
international norms and actors' identities help shape the
content of state interests.
