Discover the science of revenge and forgiveness with JVN and James Kimmel Jr., Yale lecturer and co-founder of the Yale Collaborative for Motive Studies. James gives us insight into the psychology of these complex emotions, the parts of the brain affected, and what research shows us about forgiveness. James Kimmel, Jr., JD, is a lecturer in psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, the founder and co-director of the Yale Collaborative for Motive Control Studies, and a researcher, lawyer, and novelist who focuses on neuroscience, psychology, revenge, addiction, forgiveness, and violence. A breakthrough scholar and expert on revenge and forgiveness, he first identified compulsive revenge seeking as an addiction and first developed the behavioural addiction model of revenge and the brain disease model of revenge addiction as public health approaches for preventing and treating violence.
