Alvin Mahrer founded and developed Experiential Psychotherapy during 40 years of research and practice in psychotherapy. Mahrer is internationally recognized for his development of experiential theory of personality and child development, and for his contributions to the development of the discovery-oriented approach to research on psychotherapy. Alvin Mahrer in session 1995 Robert Korneluk and Alex MacKenzie discovered a family of human genes that regulate apoptosis, or cell death. Apoptosis is a biological process by which cells are destroyed to protect the body against disease and traumatic events.
Abnormal apoptosis contributes to diseases such as stroke, brain injury, and cancer.
Korneluk and Mackenzie's discovery allows for the development of therapies designed to modulate the apoptotic process so as to reduce the death of brain cells in stroke and brain injury, and to increase cell death in cancerous tumors.
