The author unravels how this physician conceived of the human being as a reality psychobiologically linked to others and to their past, but also open and needing to take charge of reality. Through pairs of systemic concepts—such as neediness and greatness, biology and freedom, or violence and tenderness—the book reveals that man is a dialogical being, whose bond with others is not only social or metaphysical, but radically psychosomatic and emotional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the imposing psychological work of Rof Carballo, which is rooted in a deep analysis of the internal brain or emotional brain, the contributions of psychoanalysis, and ethological studies. The author explains how these foundations allow for the formulation of the concept of \"affective warp\" (urdimbre afectiva), a key to understanding the configuration of personality. Terms such as prematurity and diatrophic love are examined, showing that affectivity is not an add-on, but the very substrate of the human condition. The work invites an understanding that biology and freedom are not opposed, but integrated systemically, offering a unitary vision of the human being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePsychosomatic medicine and neuropsychology: foundations and legacy of Rof Carballo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe affective warp as a central structure of personality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDialogical relationship between biology, freedom, and affectivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eKey concepts: neediness, greatness, prematurity, diatrophic love, violence, and tenderness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe emotional brain and its role in the psychological configuration of the human being.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at professionals and students of psychology, psychiatry, neurology, and medicine, as well as readers interested in the history of science and thought.
