Discussion Post Exemplar Suggestions: Answer the questions asked. Use proper paragraph structure. Check spelling and grammar. Provide citations when necessary. ► Question: How did Descartes explain the functioning and interaction of the human body and the human mind? What is the role of the conarium? Based on your prior psychological knowledge, how do you think this relates to modern psychological thought? ► Answer: Descartes explained the functioning and interaction of the human body and the human mind as two distinct entities that continually influence one another. He identified the conarium as the area within the brain where said influencing occurs. And, after centuries of people believing that the mind controlled the body via a one-way interaction, -- “like a puppeteer, pulling the strings of the body” -- Descartes’ theory on the existence of a two-way interaction between mind and body emerged as the commonly accepted notion (Schultz and Schultz, 2008, p. 32). Interestingly enough, Descartes’ theory has largely influenced modern psychological thought, and is particularly apparent in the practice of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT seeks to eradicate dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors through a systemic retraining of the mind and body. While undergoing CBT, a child who argues and fights with classmates learns to adopt pro-social mental and physical responses to verbal and violent triggers. Case in point, if the CBT-trained child is pushed by a fellow student, his or her mind tells the body not to strike back, which makes for a specific physical response that helps to quite the mind and lesson feelings of frustration. As this example shows, CBT is deeply rooted in Descartes’ revolutionary theory on the mind and body as mutually influential entities.
