The free energy principle (FEP) is a new paradigm that has gain widespread interest in the neuroscience community. Although its principal architect, Karl Friston, is a psychiatrist, it has thus far had little impact within psychiatry. This article introduces readers to the FEP, points out its consilience with Freud's neuroscientific ideas and with psychodynamic practice, and suggests ways in which the FEP can help explain the mechanisms of action of the psychotherapies.
自由能原理(FEP)是一种新的范式,已在神经科学界引起广泛关注。尽管其主要架构师卡尔·弗里斯顿是一名精神病学家,但迄今为止它在精神病学领域的影响甚微。本文向读者介绍自由能原理,指出它与弗洛伊德的神经科学思想以及精神动力学实践的一致性,并提出自由能原理有助于解释心理治疗作用机制的方式。
