Pocket Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology

The central concepts of the theory of interpersonal neurobiology.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Many fields have explored the nature of mental life, from psychology to psychiatry, literature to linguistics. Yet no common framework has been created where each of these important perspectives can be honoured and integrated with one another, allowing a person to find answers to some basic questions, such as: What is the purpose of life? Why are we here? How do we know things, and how are we conscious of ourselves? What is the mind? What makes a mind healthy or unwell? Perhaps most importantly: What is the connection among the mind, the brain, and our relationships with one another?

Our mental lives are profoundly relational. The interactions we have with one another shape our mental world. Yet, as any neuroscientist will tell you, the mind is shaped by the firing patterns in the brain. How can we reconcile this tensionβ€”that the mind is both embodied and relational? Interpersonal Neurobiology is a way of thinking across this apparent conceptual divide.

Pocket Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology is designed to aid in your personal and professional application of the interpersonal neurobiology approach to developing a healthy mind, an integrated brain, and empathic relationships. It is also designed to assist you in seeing the intricate foundations of interpersonal neurobiology as you read other books.
