Neurology and Neuro Surgery

Yacov Rofe is a professor of psychology from Bar-Ilan University, and the President of educational college, Israel. I have published various articles in leading journal of psychology, including a new theory, entitled “Stress and affiliation: A utility theory”, published by Psychological Review, 1984. An additional influential article, published in Review of General Psychology, 2008, is a review which refutes the existence of repression and the Freudian Unconscious. In the recent years, my scientific work is focused on the development of new theory of psychopathology, which challenges the validity of traditional theories of psychological disorders have published a book, entitled, the Rationality of Psychological Disorders, by Kluwer, 2000. I have demonstrated in three articles that my theory can integrate all therapeutic methods pertaining to neurosis into one theoretical framework (Rofé, 2010), explain all data relevant to the development and treatment of conversion disorder (Rofé & Rofé, 2013), and resolve the theoretical confusion regarding the explanation of panic disorder, agoraphobia and other forms of bizarre phobia (e.g., chocolate phobia) (Rofé, 2015). I completed a new book, entitled Psycho-Bizarreness: An intuitive Rational-Choice Theory of Madness, which I hope to publish it by one of the leading University Publishing Company. A warm letter of recommendation was written by Israel Aumann, the Nobel Prize Winner of economy, which indicts that my theory is consistent with his game theory.
