Twitter Round Up

Every month or so, I am going to do a round up of interesting articles & snippets I've come across on Twitter.

As well as tweeting latest Human Givens news and sharing our own links of interest, I try to re-tweet articles of relevance to anyone studying psychotherapy, behaviour or neuroscience from the human givens perspective.

So here is an interesting selection from the last couple of months:
