Neuroscience offers new ways and levels to look into the functioning of our organisms. It thus can be used as a means to confirm or question psychological phenomena. In this article, the authors aim to view Carl Rogers’s theory of personality and behavior in light of Antonio Damasio’s theories and hypotheses concerning emotions, feelings, and conscious thought. The results indicate a tight correspondence of basic concepts and hypotheses such as the actualizing tendency and the vital role of feelings in thought. Furthermore, several ways accrue in which neuroscience and psychology complement one another in producing a more complete and, hence, reliable image of human functioning.
