Many modern therapeutic approaches neglect the interconnections between various facets of human personality. Dr. C. Robert Cloninger has spent the past twenty years developing an integrative biopsychosocial model of human personality. This biopsychosocial model is at the core of the Science of Well-Being, which examines the principles and mechanisms underlying the natural development of well-being in the individual. Based on research done is this field, the center’s goal is to develop innovative forms of therapy that health professionals can integrate into their practices.
