ABSTRACT:
A psychotherapy apparatus and method for inputting and shaping new emotional, physiological and cognitive response patterns in a patient includes an enclosure for isolating a patient from external stimuli, lights and earphones for respectively generating and presenting visual and auditory stimuli to the patient, an air flow delivery tube, an air flow fan for delivering a flow of air to the patient for inhalation by the patient, an electro-thermal heat pump coupled to the tube and fan being operable for controlling the temperature of the flow of air delivered to and inhaled by the patient to thereby control the temperature of the patient's hypothalamus, and a flow control valve between the heat pump and tube and being operable to control the proportion of heated and cooled air entering the tube. The apparatus also includes a computer-implemented expert system for developing a patient's treatment program and for coordinating and timing the occurrence of the visual and auditory stimuli and the controlling of the temperature of the flow of air delivered to and inhaled by the patient so as to operate the same in a desired predetermined coordinated fashion as determined by the patient's treatment program.
