Ep. 1058: Mary-Frances O’Connor Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Mary-Frances O’Connor, a grief expert and neuroscientist. She is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Arizona and the Director of Clinical Training. Her research focuses on the physiological correlates of emotion, in particular the wide range of physical and emotional responses during bereavement, including yearning and isolation. She thinks that a clinical science approach to grieving can help improve treatment for prolonged grief disorder, which was added to the new DSM-5.

The topic is her book The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Groundbreaking discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve
• The difference between grief and grieving
• Analyzing and interpreting a patient's brain when it's grieving by using Neuroimaging
• The path of becoming a Neuroscientist
